Why oxidation state of +1 is often observed in the case of compounds of TI despite the highest oxidation state for the group 13 being +3? Select ALL relevant correct answers. Incorrect answers will be penalized. Select one or more: a. Geometric reasons: the large size of TI does not allow three other atoms to be positioned around it. b. Weak bonds are formed as a result of large size of TI Oc. Mismatch in energy & radial distribution of ns- and np-valence orbitals Od. There are no elements with high enough electronegativity compared to TI to form +3 oxidation state. e. Promotion energy is the highest in the Group 13 for Tl.
