JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Aluminium is more electropositive than thallium as the standard electrode potential value of E°(Al³⁺/Al) is negative and E°(Tl³⁺/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 Al³⁺ ion.

• (A)Both Statement I and Statement II are trueCorrect
• (B)Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• (C)Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• (D)Statement I is false but Statement II is true
