Observe the following reactions (not balanced)
\(mathrm{BF}_3+\mathrm{LiAlH}_4 \xrightarrow{\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\right)_2 \mathrm{O}}\) 
\(mathrm{X}+\mathrm{LiF}+\mathrm{AlF}_3\)
\(mathrm{X}+\mathrm{NaH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Y}\)
The incorrect statement about Y is

  1. A It is a good oxidizing agent
  2. B It is a good reducing agent
  3. C Oxidation state of hydrogen in it is -1
  4. D Oxidation of it with iodine gives diborane

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hydrogen in - 1 oxidation state alkali metal always show +1 oxidation state thus Y is reducing agent not oxidising agent Correct option (a).
