1. JEE Main 2026 · 6 Apr · Shift 1 · Group 13: Boron Family

   Given below are two statements :

   Statement I : Aluminium is more electropositive than thallium as the standard electrode potential value of ${\mathrm{E}}^{{\circ}}{\mathrm{Al}}^{{3+}}/{\mathrm{Al}}$ is negative and ${\mathrm{E}}^{{\circ}}{\mathrm{Tl}}^{{3+}}/{\mathrm{Tl}}$ 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
