Q.

The E° value for

Al+/Al=+0.55 V and Tl+/Tl=-0.34 V

Al3+/Al=-1.66 V and Tl3+/Tl=+1.26 V

Identify the incorrect statement.                                                [2023]

1 Al is more electropositive than Tl.  
2 Tl3+ is a good reducing agent than Tl+.  
3 Al+ is unstable in solution.  
4 Tl can be easily oxidised to Tl+ than Tl3+.
