MCQ
For compound having the formula $GaAlCl _4$, the correct option from the following is
  • $Ga$ is more electronegative than $Al$ and is present as a cationic part of the salt $GaAlCl _4$
  • B
    Oxidation state of $Ga$ in the salt $GaAlC _4$ is $+3$.
  • C
    $Cl$ forms bond with both $Al$ and $Ga$ in $GaAlCl _4$
  • D
    $Ga$ is coordinated with $Cl$ in $GaAlCl _4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$Ga$ is more electronegative than $Al$ and is present as a cationic part of the salt $GaAlCl _4$
a
Gallous tetrachloro aluminate $Ga ^{+} AlCl _4^{-}$

$2 Ga + Ga ^{+} GaCl _4^{-}+2 Al _2 Cl _6 \stackrel{190^{\circ}}{\longrightarrow} 4 Ga ^{+} AlCl _4^{-}$

Ga is cationic part of salt $GaAlCl _4$.
