Twin: The Inert Pair Effect

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The inert pair effect is the tendency of heavier p-block elements to form a stable ion two below the group state, growing down a group and strongest in the heaviest member.

Show

Thallium favors Tl+ over Tl3+; lighter neighbor indium shows In+ alongside In3+, less dominantly.

Watch for

Assuming this lowered state appears only in the heaviest member misses mid-group cases like tin and indium.
