When borax is heated with $CoO$ on a platinum loop, blue coloured bead formed is largely due to
$B _{2} O _{3}$
$Co \left( BO _{2}\right)_{2}$
$CoB _{4} O _{7}$
$Co [ B _{4} O _{5}( OH )_{4}]$
Which elements of group $13$, except $B$, can form tetrahedral and octahedral complex in aqueous medium ?
Aluminum dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalis and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminum foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning match stick near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn't proceed. Explain the reason.
$Al$ having double conductivity as compared to which metal ?
Alumina is insoluble in water because
The chemical name of borax is
