Pick the correct statement :

(1) Borax is white crystalline solid containing [B₄O₅(OH)₄]^2- units

(2) Aqueous solution of borax is acidic in nature.

(3) Cobalt gives green colour in borax bead test.

(4) All are incorrect.

In B₂H₆ 

(1) there is direct boron-boron bond

(2) the structure is similar to that of C₂H₆

(3) the boron atoms are linked through hydrogen bridges

(4) all the atoms are in one plane

From the B₂H₆ all the following can be prepared except:

(1) H₃BO₃

(2) [BH₂(NH₃)₂]+ [BH₄]-

(3) B₂(CH₃)₆

(4) NaBH₄

${\mathrm{BX}}_3+{\mathrm{NH}}_3\stackrel{\mathrm{R}.\mathrm{T}.}{\to }{\mathrm{BX}}_3 .{\mathrm{NH}}_3+$ Heat of adduct formation $\left(∆\mathrm{H}\right)$

The numerical value of $∆\mathrm{H}$ is found to be maximum for :

(1) ${\mathrm{BF}}_3$                               

(2) ${\mathrm{BCl}}_3$

(3) ${\mathrm{BBr}}_3$

Borax is converted into crystalline boron by the following steps:

          $\mathrm{Borax}\stackrel{\mathrm{X}}{\to }{\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{BO}}_3\stackrel{∆}{\to }{\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3\underset{∆}{\overset{\mathrm{Y}}{\to }}\mathrm{B}$

X and Y are respectively :

1. HCl, Mg                                 
2. HCl, C
3. C, Al 
4. HCl, Al

An element that cannot form ${\mathrm{MF}}_6^{3-}$ ion is-

Boric acid is polymeric because of:

1. Its acidic nature

2. Presence of hydrogen bonds

3. Its monobasic nature

4. Its geometry

Boric acid on heating at $150°\mathrm{C}$ gives:

1. ${\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$

2. ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{B}}_4{\mathrm{O}}_7$

3. ${\mathrm{HBO}}_2$

4. ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{BO}}_3$

The product formed in the reaction,

$BC{l}_3+H_{2}O\to$Product is:

(1) $H_{3}B{O}_3+HCl$

(2) $B_2{O}_3+HOCl$

(3) $B_2{H}_6+HCl$

(4) no reaction

On the addition of mineral acid to an aqueous solution of borax, the compound formed is:

1. borodihydride

2. orthoboric acid

3. metaboric acid

4. pyroboric acid
