Important Questions on The p-Block Elements-Group 13 (Boron Family)

MEDIUM
The correct option pertaining to varying chemical behaviour of the first member of a group(s-and p- block elements) compared with the subsequent members of the same group is that they
(A) exhibit the maximum covalency of 4
(B) have less electronegativity
(C) possess large charge to radius ratio
MEDIUM
Sodium borohydride upon treatment with iodine produces a Lewis acid (X), which on heating with ammonia produces a cyclic compound Y and a colorless gas Z. X, Y and Z are

EASY

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: In TlI3, isomorphous to CsI3, the metal is present in +1 oxidation state.

Reason R: Tl metal has fourteen f electrons in its electronic configuration.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

HARD

Identify the correct statements about the anomalous behaviour of Boron

I. Boron trihalides can form dimeric structures.

II. Boron shows +1 as stable oxidation state

III. Maximum covalency of Boron is four.

IV. Boron does not form BF66- ion.

MEDIUM
When metal M is treated with NaOH, a white gelatinous precipitate X is obtained, which is soluble in excess of NaOH. Compound X when heated strongly gives an oxide which is used in chromatography as an adsorbent. The metal M is
EASY
The correct statements among I to III regrading group 13 element oxides are,
(I) Boron trioxide is acidic.
(II) Oxides of aluminum and gallium are amphoteric.
(III) Oxides of indium and thallium are basic.
MEDIUM
A metal X dissolves both in dilute HCl and dilute NaOH to liberate H2. Addition of NH4Cl and excess NH4OH to an HCl solution of X produces Y as a precipitate. Y is also produced by adding NH4Cl to the NaOH solution of X. The species X and Y, respectively, are

Assertion A: Boron is unable to form BF63-

Reason R: Size of B is very small.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

HARD
Choose the correct stability order of group 13 elements in their +1 oxidation state.
MEDIUM
