Identify the correct statements from the following : I. Ga2O3\mathrm{Ga}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 is an amphoteric oxide. II. The dimer of aluminium chloride has three Al−Cl−Al\mathrm{Al}-\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Al} bridge bonds. III. Boron is very hard refractory solid of high melting temperature.Identify the correct statements from the following : I. Ga_2 O_3 is an amphoteric oxide. II. The dimer of aluminium

Options

  1. AI, II only
  2. BI, III only
  3. CII, III only
  4. DI, II, III

Correct answer

B. I, III only

Step-by-step solution

(I) Ga2O3\mathrm{Ga}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 is an amphoteric oxide is the correct statement as it reacts with acid and base both, as shown below : Reaction with an acid \mathrm{Ga}}_{2} \mathrm{O}}_{3}+6\mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow22\mathrm{GaCl}}_{3}+3 \mathrm{H}}_{2} O\mathrm{O}Reaction with a base \mathrm{Ga}}_{2} \mathrm{O}}_{3}+2\mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow22\mathrm{NaGaO}}_{2}+ \mathrm{H}}_{2} O(\mathrm{O} (II) The dimer of aluminium chloride has three Al−Cl−Al\mathrm{Al}-\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Al} bridge bond is not the correct statement as structure of Al2Cl6\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_6 is as follows: Identify the correct statements from the following : I. Ga_2 O_3 is an amphoteric oxide. II. The dimer of aluminium
(III) Boron is very hard refractory solid of high melting temperature is the correct statement as its melting point is 2349 K2349 \mathrm{~K} and is used as refractory solid. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
