Ionization enthalpy (${∆}_{\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{H}}_1\mathrm{kJ}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$) for the elements of Group 13 follows the order.

A compound X, of boron, reacts with ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$ on heating to give another compound Y which is called inorganic benzene. The compound X can be prepared by treating ${\mathrm{BF}}_3$ with Lithium aluminium hydride. The compounds X and Y are represented by the formulas -

Carbon dioxide is a gas but silica is a solid because:

1. Carbon dioxide is composed of discrete covalent ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules whereas silica has a continuous tetrahedral structure.

2. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules are lighter than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ molecules.

3. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is more acidic than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$.

4. The melting point of silica is very high.

3. ${\mathrm{PbCl}}_4$ is less stable than ${\mathrm{SnCl}}_4$

4. Pb(II) is a good reducing agent while Sn(II) is not

Assertion: B-X bond length in ${\mathrm{BX}}_3$ is shorter than the expected value.

Reason: $p\mathrm{\pi }-\mathrm{p\pi }$ back bonding occurs between B and X.

1. Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
2. Both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
3. Assertion is a true statement but Reason is false.
4. Both Assertion and Reason are false statements.
