Boron forms $BX_3$ type of halides. The correct increasing order of Lewis-acid strength of these halides is
- A
$BF_3 > BCl_3 > BBr_3 > BI_3$
- ✓
$BI_3 > BBr_3 > BCl_3 > BF_3$
- C
$BF_3 > BI_3 > BCl_3 > BBr_3$
- D
$BF_3 > BCl_3 > BI_3 > BBr_3$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $BI_3 > BBr_3 > BCl_3 > BF_3$
b
The decreasing order of the Lewis acidity of boron halides is $\mathrm{BI}_{3}>\mathrm{BBr}_{3}>\mathrm{BCl}_{3}>\mathrm{BF}_{3}$
This order is due to the relative tendency of the halogen atom to back donate its unutilized electrons to the vacant p-orbitals of boron atom.
Due to the back donation of electrons from fluorine to boron, the electron deficiency of boron is reduced and hence, Lewis acidity is decreased.
The tendency for the formation of back bonding is maximum in boron trifluoride and decreases very rapidly from boron trifluoride to boron triodide.

(Borax Bead Test)
On treatment with metal salt, boric anhydride forms metaborate of the metal which gives different colours in oxidising and reducing flame.
For example, in the case of copper sulphate, following reactions occur.
$CuSO _4+ B _2 O _3 \longrightarrow Cu \left( BO _2\right)_2+ SO _3$
Two reactions may take place in reducing flame (Luminous flame)
$(i)$ The blue-green $Cu \left( BO _2\right)_2$ is reduced to colourless cuprous metaborate as :
$2 Cu ( BO _2 )_2+2 NaBO _2+ C \underset{\text { flame }}{\stackrel{\text { Luminous }}{\longrightarrow}} 2 CuBO _2+$ $ Na _2 B _4 O _7+ CO$
$(ii)$ Cupric metaborate may be reduced to metallic copper and bead appears red opaque.
$2 Cu \left( BO _2\right)_2+4 NaBO _2+2 C \underset{\text { fuminous }}{\stackrel{\text { flame }}{\longrightarrow}} 2 Cu +$ $2 Na _2 B _4 O _7+2 CO$

- A
$PH_3$
- ✓
$CH_4$
- C
$NH_3$
- D

AnswerCorrect option: B. $CH_4$
b
More the number of lone pairs on central atom, the greater is the contraction caused in the angle between bond pairs. In $PH_3$ the bond pairs of electrons are so much farther away from the central atom due to larger size. Thus the lone pair cause greater distortion in $PH_3$ . Hence the bond angle decreases to $98^o$ .

$(B)$ $\underset{\text { (Anghoteric) }}{ SnO _2}+\underset{\text { (Base) }}{2 KOH _{(\text {aq. })}}+2 H _2 O \longrightarrow K _2\left[ Sn ( OH )_6\right]$
$(C)$ First group cations $\left( Pb ^{2+}\right)$ form insoluble chloride with $HCl$ that is $PbCl _2$ however it is slightly soluble in water and therefore lead +2 ion is never completely precipitated on adding hydrochloric acid in test sample of $Pb ^{2+}$, rest of the $Pb ^{2+}$ ions are quantitatively precipitated with $H _2 S$ in acidic medium.
So that we can say that filtrate of first group contain solution of $PbCl _2$ in $HCl$ which contains $Pb ^{2+}$ and $Cl ^{-}$
However in the presence of conc. $HCl$ or excess $HCl$ it can produce $H _2\left[ PbCl _4\right]$

The function of fluorspar in the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in fused cryolite $(Na_3AlF_6)$ is :
- A
- ✓
to lower the temperature of melt and to make the fused mixture very conducting
- C
to decrease the rate of oxidation of carbon anode
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. to lower the temperature of melt and to make the fused mixture very conducting
b
The electrolysis of alumina is carried out in a steel tank lined inside with graphite.
The graphite lining serves as a cathode.
The anode is also made of graphite rods hanging in the molten mass.
The electrolyte consists of alumina dissolved in fused cryolite(N a $_{3} \mathrm{AlF}_{6}$ ) and fluorspar ($\left.\mathrm{CaF}_{2}\right)$
Cryolite lowers the melting point of alumina to $950^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and fluorspar increases the fluidity of the mass, so that the liberated aluminium metal may sink at the bottom of the cell.
Therefore, it makes the fused mixture very conducting and lowers the fusion temperature of the melt.
When an electric current is passed through this mixture, the aluminium is collected at the cathode in the molten state and sinks at the bottom and is tapped off.

Which of the following compound is formed in borax bead test?
Answera
Answer:- (A) Metaborate
On heating, borax loses water of crystallisation and swells up to form fluffy mass. On further heating, it melts to give a clear liquid which solidifies to a transparent glossy bead consisting of sodium metaborate and boric unhydride.
$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7} \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow}{\underset { Sodium Metaborate }{2 \mathrm{NaBO}_{2}}}+\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
Thus, Metaborate is formed.

Boron does not form $B^{3+}$ cation easily. it is due to
AnswerCorrect option: A. energy required to form $B^{3+}$ ion is far more than that which would be compensated by lattice energies or hydration energies of such ion
a
As the Boron atom is small in size a large amount of energy is needed to remove $3$ electrons from the boron atom. So Boron does not form $B_3+$ ion. The atomic number of Boron is $5$ . Its electronic configuration is $1s [2] 2 s[2] 2 p[1]$
When one electron is removed from the $p$ orbital a $He$-like fulfilled s orbital is left. This is highly stable. So the second ionization enthalpy is quite high. Again when one electron is removed a half filled orbital is left. So the third ionization enthalpy is also quite high.
Since the total energy needed to make $B _3+$ is the total of all the ionization enthalpies an enormous amount of energy is required to form it.

Inert pair effect is predominant in
Answerb
Inert pair effect is the name given to tendency of electrons present in the outer most s sub shell of post-transition metals, like $\mathrm{Pb}$, Bi etc. to not undergo ionisation, and to remain unshared.
This is most stated in Groups 13,14 and 15
A possible given explanation is that due to presence of f-subshell electrons are to diffused, due to the shape of the forbitals, to effectively shield the s electrons from the pull of the nucleus.
A good example would be the elements of Group $13 .$ Aluminium in +1 state is unknown, and the stability of +1 oxidation state increases as we go down the group.
Thallium is most stable in +1 oxidation state, and compounds of Thallium in +3 oxidation state are known to be very strong oxidising agents, and have a tendency to reduce quickly to +1 state.
Hence option B is correct.

- ✓
$+2, +4$
- B
$+4, +4$
- C
$+2, +2$
- D
$+4, +2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $+2, +4$
a
When $ns^2$ electrons of outermost shell do not participate in bonding then these $ns^2$ electrons are called inert pair and the effect is called inert pair effect. Due to this inert pair effect Ge, $5 n$ and $P b$ of group $IV$ have a tendency to form both $+4$ and $+2$ ions. Now the inert pair effect increases down the group, hence the stability of $M^{2+}$ ions increases and $M^{4+}$ ions decreases down the group. For this reason, $P b^{2+}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{pb}^{4+}$ and $\mathrm{Sn}^{4-}$ is more stable than $\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}$

Assertion : $PbI_4$ is a stable compound.
Reason : Iodide stabilizes higher oxidation state
- A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
- ✓
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
AnswerCorrect option: D. If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
As we move down the group $IVA$, $+2$ oxidation state becomes more stable. Thus $Pb^{4+}$ is not possible, i.e., $PbI_4$ is highly unstable. $I_2$ is a weak oxidising agent so it cannot oxidise $Pb$ to $Pb^{4+}$ oxidation state. So assertion and reason both are wrong.

Assertion : Stannous chloride gives grey precipitate with mercuric chloride, but stannic chloride does not do so.
Reason : Stannous chloride is a powerful oxidising agent which oxidises mercuric chloride to metallic mercury.
- A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- ✓
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
- D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
AnswerCorrect option: C. If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
$Sn^{4+}$ is more stable than $Sn^{2+}$
So, $Sn^{2+}$ is oxidised to $Sn^{4+}$ by losing $2$ electrons when it reacts with mercuric chloride, i.e., $SnCl_2$ is a reducing agent.
$2HgC{{l}_{2}}+SnC{{l}_{2}}\to H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}+SnC{{l}_{4}}$
$H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}+SnC{{l}_{2}}\to \underset{(grey\,ppt)}{\mathop{2Hg}}\,+SnC{{l}_{4}}$
