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.
