Boric acid is an acid because its molecule
contains replaceable $H^+$ ion
gives up a proton
accepts $OH^-$ from water releasing proton.
combines with proton from water molecule.
An element $A$ dissolves both in acid and alkali. It is an example of
Consider the following statements for diborane
$1.$ Boron is approximately $sp^3$ hybridized
$2.$ $B-H-B$ angle is $180^o$
$3.$ There are two terminal $B-H$ bonds for each boron atom
$4.$ There are only $12$ bonding electrons available
Of these statements
The incorrect stability order of $+3$ and $+1$ states of $13^{th}$ group elements (boron family) is
