Boron does not form $B^{3+}$ cation easily. it is due to
energy required to form $B^{3+}$ ion is far more than that which would be compensated by lattice energies or hydration energies of such ion
boron is non-metal
boron is semiconductor
none of the above
Which among the following statement(s) is(are) true for the extraction of aluminium from bauxite?
$(A)$ Hydrated $Al _2 O _3$ precipitates, when $CO _2$ is bubbled through a solution of sodium aluminate.
$(B)$ Addition of $Na _3 AlF _6$ lowers the melting point of alumina.
$(C)$ $CO _2$ is evolved at the anode during electrolysis.
$(D)$ The cathode is a steel vessel with a lining of carbon.
In the Hoope's process for refining of aluminium, the fused materials form three different layers and they remain separated during electrolysis also. This is because
Explain physical characteristic of group $13$ elements.
Write preparation of diborane and give physical and chemical properties of it.
During the borax bead test with $CuSO _4$, a blue green colour of the bead was observed in oxidising flame due to the formation of
