The correct statements from the following are :
$(A)$ The decreasing order of atomic radii of group $13$ elements is $\mathrm{Tl}>\mathrm{In}>\mathrm{Ga}>\mathrm{Al}>\mathrm{B}$.
$(B)$ Down the group $13$ electronegativity decreases from top to bottom.
$(C)$ $\mathrm{Al}$ dissolves in dil. $\mathrm{HCl}$ and liberate $\mathrm{H}_2$ but conc. $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ renders Al passive by forming a protective oxide layer on the surface.
$(D)$ All elements of group 13 exhibits highly stable +1 oxidation state.
$(E)$ Hybridisation of $\mathrm{Al}$ in $\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ ion is $\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2$.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
$(C)$ and $(E)$ only
$(A)$, $(C)$ and $(E)$ only

Is boric acid a protic acid? Explain.
The bond dissociation energy of $B- F$ in $BF_3$ is $646 \,kJ\, mol^{-1}$ whereas that of $C - F$ in $CF_4$ is $515\, kJ\, mol^{-1}.$ The correct reason for higher $B- F$ bond dissociation energy as compared to that of $C-F$ is
The most abundant metal in the earth crust is
