प्रश्न
Explain the following:
Boron does not exist as B3+ ion.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Boron has three electrons in the valence shell. Because of its small size and high sum of the first three ionisation enthalpies (i.e., ∆iH1 + ∆iH2 + ∆iH3), boron does not lose all its valence electrons to form B3+ ions.

AlCl3
When BCl3 is treated with water, it hydrolyses and forms [B[OH]4]– only whereas AlCl3 in acidified aqueous solution forms [Al(H2O)6]3+ ion. Explain what is the hybridisation of boron and aluminium in these species?
Aluminium dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalies and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminium foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning matchstick near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn’t proceed. Explain the reason.
