Aluminium becomes passive in nitric acid because it-
1. Is a noble metal
2. Forms a thin film of oxide
3. Has a positive reduction potential
4. None of the above
The stability of the +1 oxidation state increases in the sequence:
1. Al <Ga<In<Tl
2. Tl<In<Ga<Al
3. In<Tl<Ga<Al
4. Ga<In<Al<Tl
Borax bead test is responded by:

Ionization enthalpy () for the elements of Group 13 follows the order.
1. | B > Al > Ga > In > Tl | 2. | B < Al < Ga < In < Tl |
3. | B < Al > Ga < In > Tl | 4. | B > Al < Ga > In < Tl |
Aluminium reacts with concentrated HCl and concentrated NaOH to liberate which of the following gases respectively-
1. | \(\mathrm{H}_2 ~\text{and} ~\mathrm{H}_2 \) | 2. | \(\mathrm{O}_2 ~\text{and} ~\mathrm{O}_2 \) |
3. | \(\mathrm{O}_2 ~\text{and} ~\mathrm{H}_2 \) | 4. | \(\mathrm{H}_2 ~\text{and} ~\mathrm{O}_2 \) |
The correct order of atomic radii of the group 13 elements is-
1. B < Al < In < Ga < Tl
2. B < Al < Ga < In < Tl
3. B < Ga < Al < Tl < In
4. B < Ga < Al < In < Tl
on hydrolysis gives -
