Identify the incorrect statement:
1. The relative stability of group 13 elements in +1 oxidation state varies as: Al < Ga < In < Tl.
2. Boron trioxide is acidic; aluminium and gallium trioxides are amphoteric, while indium and thallium trioxides are basic.
3. The hybridisation of Al in \(\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}\) is \(\text{d}^2\text{ sp}^3.\)
4. Two isotopes of Boron, namely \(^{10}\!\mathrm{~B}(19 \%)\) and , \(^{11}\! \mathrm{~B}(81 \%)\) are known.
