JEE Main 2026 (6 Apr, Shift 1) Chemistry Q59: Group 13 & 14

Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Aluminium is more electropositive than thallium as the standard electrode potential value of $\mathrm{E^\circ_{Al^{3+}/Al}}$ is negative and $\mathrm{E^\circ_{Tl^{3+}/Tl}}$ is positive.
Statement II: The sum of first three ionization enthalpies of boron is very high when compared to that of aluminium. Due to this reason boron forms covalent compounds only and aluminium forms $\mathrm{Al^{3+}}$ ion.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
