Question:
Which of these statements is not true?
NO+is isoelectronic withO2.
In aqueous solution, theTl+ion is much more stable thanTI(III).
LiAlH4is a versatile reducing agent in organic synthesis.
Bis always covalent in its compounds.
Solution:
NO+has 14 electrons and O2 has 16 electrons. Therefore, they are not isoelectronic species. Boron is covalent in its compounds. Tl+ is much more stable than Tl3+ as going down the group the stability of lower oxidation number increases due to inert pair effect. LiAlH4 is a selective reducing agent in organic synthesis. Hence, option A is not true.
