JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - p -Block elements - ll
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: Element 'X' and 'Y' are the most and least electronegative elements, respectively among N, As, Sb and P. The nature of the oxides \(X_{2}O_{3}\) and \(Y_{2}O_{3}\) is acidic and amphoteric, respectively.
Statement-II: \(BCl_{3}\) is covalent in nature and gets hydrolysed in water. It produces \([B(OH)_{4}]^{-}\) and \([B(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{3+}\) in aqueous medium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
- B Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
- C Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
- D Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(X = N \quad X _2 O _3= N _2 O _3(\text { Acidic })\) \(Y = Sb \quad Y _2 O _3= Sb _2 O _3(\text { Amphoteric })\) Statement-I is true. \(BCl_{3} + 3H_{2}O \rightarrow B(OH)_{3} + 3HCl\). Statement-II is false.
