How can you explain higher stability of B C l 3 as compared to T l C l 3 ?
Solution:
The higher stability of B C l 3 as compared to T l C l 3 can be explained with the help of inert pair effect which becomes more stable as we move down the group. Tl is more stable in its +1 oxidation state and hence T l C l 3 is not stable as Tl shows an oxidation state of +3 in T l C l 3 .
