its because of the d orbital which contain 10 electrons and push the s orbital inward i_e towards the nucleus so they are more attracted by nucleus and this is called poor shielding effect of d orbital... thus 6s2 are close to the nucleus these electrons are less available for bonding... this is known as inert pair effect...

Note that both elemnst exhibit the +1 and +3 oxidation staes- in thallium the +1 is the more stable and in gallium the +3 is the more stable

Why do lead and tin have different oxidation numbers even they are not in the transition element area?

One rationalization is the "inert pair effect" - lead and tin have oxidation numbers of +2 and +4 . The inert pair effect also rationaliss the two oxidation numbers of +1 and +3 exhibited by gallium, indium and thallium. In compounds with the lower oxidation numebrs the s electrons are not removed.

What is the oxidation state of chlorine in HCl?

The oxidation state of chlorine in HCl is -1. In HCl, hydrogen is assigned an oxidation state of +1 because it usually has a +1 charge when bonded to nonmetals. Since the overall charge of HCl is 0, the chlorine must have an oxidation state of -1 to balance the charge.


What is the charge of a thallium III ion?

The two main oxidation states of thallium are +1 and +3. In the oxidation state +1 most compounds closely resemble the potassium or the silver compounds (The ionic radius of thallium(I) is 1.47 Å while that of potassium is 1.33 Å and that of silver is 1.26 Å). For example, the water-soluble and very basic thallium(I) hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide forming water-soluble thallium carbonate This carbonate is the only water soluble heavy metal carbonate. The similarity with silver compounds is observed with the halide, oxide, and sulfide compounds. Thallium(I) bromide is a photosensitive yellow compound very similar to the silver bromide, while the black thallium(I) oxide and thallium(I) sulfide are very similar to the silver oxide and silver sulfide. The compounds with oxidation state +3 resemble the aluminium(III) compounds. They are moderately strong oxidizing agents, as illustrated by the reduction potential of +0.72 volts for Tl3+ + 3 e- → Tl(s). The thallium(III) oxide is a black solid which decomposes above 800 °C, forming the thallium(I) oxide and oxygen.[4]
