Colour of the bead in borax bead test is mainly due to the formation of
metal oxides
boron oxide
metal metaborates
elemental boron
Anhydrous $AlC{l_3}$ is obtained from
Hoop's process is used for the purification of the metal
Borax has the molecular formula
A nonmetallic element of group $-13$, used in making bullet proof vests is extremely hard solid of black colour. It can exist in many allotropic forms and has unusually high melting point. Its trifluoride acts as Lewis acid towards ammonia. The element exhibits maximum covalence of four. Identify the element and write the reaction of its trifluoride with ammonia. Explain why does the trifluoride acts as a Lewis acid.
The liquefied metal which expands on solidification is
