1.	Three pairs of compounds are given below. Identify that compound in each of the pairs which has group-13 element in more stable oxidation state. Give reason for your choice. State the nature of bonding also. InCl_3 , InCl
Answer» Solution :InCl is more stable due to inert PAIR EFFECT and lower oxidation STATE +1 is more stable. In SHOWS both the oxidation states +3 and +1. `3InCl_((aq)) to 2In_((s)) + In_((aq))^(3+) + 3Cl_((aq))^(-)`
