Among the elements In, Tl, Al, Pb, Sn, and Ge, what are the most stable oxidation states for the element with the highest first ionisation enthalpy and the element with the lowest first ionisation enthalpy, respectively?
| 1. | +2 and +3 | 2. | +4 and +3 |
| 3. | +4 and +1 | 4. | +1 and +4 |
| Statement I: | Atomic radius of \(\mathrm{Al}\) is less than that of \(\mathrm{Ga}\). |
| Statement II: | The ionic radius of \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\) is less than \(\mathrm{Ga}^{3+}\). |
| 1. | Both Statement are correct. |
| 2. | Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
| 4. | Both Statement are incorrect. |
| Assertion (A): | Aluminium is extracted from bauxite by the electrolysis of a molten mixture of \(Al_2O_3\) with cryolite. |
| Reason (R): | The oxidation state of Al in cryolite is \(+3\) |
| 1. | (A) is false but (R) is true. |
| 2. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 1. | \(BI_3\) | 2. | \(BBr_3\) |
| 3. | \(BCl_3\) | 4. | \(BF_3\) |
