Statement I Boron always forms covalent bond
Statement II The small size of \(\mathrm{B}^{3+}\) favours formation of covalent bond.
- A Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
- B Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement II
- C Statement I is true, Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false, Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Statement I is true, Statement II is true, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Boron always form covalent bond because boron requires very high energy to form \(\mathrm{B}^{3+}\) and again \(\mathrm{B}^{3+}\) due to its very small size having high polarising power thus cause greater polarisation and eventually significant covalent characteristics-Fajans rule.
