In $LiAlH_4,$ metal $Al$ is present in
anionic part
cationic part
in both anionic and cationic part
neither in cationic nor in anionic part
Assertion : Atomic radius of gallium is higher than that of aluminium
Reason : The presence of additional $d-$ electron offer poor screening effect for the outer electrons from increased nuclear charge.
A certain salt $X$, gives the following results.
$(i)$ Its aqueous solution is alkaline to litmus.
$(ii)$ It swells up to a glassy material $Y$ on strong heating.
$(iii)$ When conc. $H_2SO_4$ is added to a hot solution of $X$, white crystal of an acid $Z$ separates out.
Write equations for all the above reactions and identify $X, Y$ and $ Z$.
The reaction of $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{3} \mathrm{B}_{3} \mathrm{Cl}_{3}$ $(A)$ with $\mathrm{LiBH}_{4}$ in tetrahydrofurane gives inorganic benzene $(B)$. Further, the reaction of $(A)$ with $(C)$ leads to $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{N}_{3} \mathrm{B}_{3}(\mathrm{Me})_{3}$. than Compounds $(\mathrm{B})$ and $(\mathrm{C})$ respectively, are
Draw the structures of $BCl_3. NH_3$ and $AlCl_3$ (dimer).
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.
