  1. A Thallium is more electropositive than aluminium
  2. B Boron has high electrical conductivity
  3. C An aqueous solution of ortho boric acid is generally used as a mild antiseptic
  4. D Boron \(-11\left({ }^{11} \mathrm{~B}\right)\) isotope has high ability to absorb neutrons
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) An aqueous solution of ortho boric acid is generally used as a mild antiseptic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thallium electronegativity \(=1.62\) (Pauling scale) Aluminium electronegativity \(=1.61\) Boron is a bad conductor of electricity at low temperatures. B-11 isotope is a stable and non-radioactive isotope. An aqueous solution of orthoboric acid is generally used as a mild…
