JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 -p-Block elements - I

A group \(13\) element \('X'\)  reacts with chlorine gas to produce a compound  \(XCl_3. XCl_3\) is electron deficient and easily reacts with \(NH_3\) to form \(Cl_3X \leftarrow NH_3\) adduct, however, \(XCl_3\) does not dimerize. \(X\)  is

  1. A \(B\)
  2. B \(Al\)
  3. C \(In\)
  4. D \(Ga\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(BCl_3\) \(B+C{{l}_{2}}\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix} [does\,not\,dimerise\,due\,to\, \\ (p\pi -p\pi )back\,bonding] \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{BC{{l}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{N{{H}_{3}}}\) \(BCl_3\) is electron deficient but it does not form dimer like \(Al,Ga\) or \(In\)…
