Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the common oxidation state of the p-block elements in group 13?
  • Step 1: Identify the group of elements we are discussing, which is group 13 of the periodic table.
  • Step 2: Recognize that group 13 elements include Aluminum (Al), Gallium (Ga), Indium (In), and Thallium (Tl).
  • Step 3: Understand that oxidation states indicate how many electrons an element can lose, gain, or share when it reacts.
  • Step 4: Note that group 13 elements typically lose three electrons when they react.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the common oxidation state for these elements is +3.
