The electrochemical extraction of aluminum from bauxite ore involves.
$(A)$ the reaction of $Al _2 O _3$ with coke ($C$) at a temperature $>2500^{\circ} C$.
$(B)$ the neutralization of aluminate solution by passing $CO _2$ gas to precipitate hydrated alumina $\left( Al _2 O _3 .3 H _2 O \right)$
$(C)$ the dissolution of $Al _2 O _3$ in hot aqueous $NaOH$.
$(D)$ the electrolysis of $Al _2 O _3$ mixed with $Na _3 AlF _6$ to give $Al$ and $CO _2$.

Explain why the following compounds behave as Lewis acids ?
$(A)$ $BCl_3$ $(B)$ $AlCl_3$
Aluminium has a great affinity for oxygen and its oxidation is an exothermic process. This fact is made use of in
Which elements of group $13$, except $B$, can form tetrahedral and octahedral complex in aqueous medium ?
Draw the structures of $BCl_3. NH_3$ and $AlCl_3$ (dimer).
$Be$ and $Al$ exhibit many properties which are similar, but the two elements differ in :
