Solution
The correct option is D Aluminium
Answer:- (D) Aluminium- Inert pair effect means that the 2 s-electrons of the valence shell of heavier p-block elements form an inert pair and do not participate in bond formation.
- Inert pair effect occurs due to the poor shielding effect of d and f orbitals.
Hence, due to small size and absence of d and f orbitals, Aluminium does not show inert pair effect.
