The correct statements among I to III regrading group 13 element...

The correct statements among I to III regrading group 13 element oxides are,
(I) Boron trioxide is acidic.
(II) Oxides of aluminum and gallium are amphoteric.
(III) Oxides of indium and thallium are basic.

Options

  1. A(I) and (III) only
  2. B(I) and (II) only
  3. C(I), (II) and (III)
  4. D(II) and (III) only

Correct answer

C. (I), (II) and (III)

Step-by-step solution

All statements are correct
B2O3→{\text{B}}_{2}{O}_{3} \to acidic , B2O3{\text{B}}_{2}{O}_{3} is an anhydride of Orthoboric Acid.
Al2O3A{l}_{2}{O}_{3} and Ga2O3G{a}_{2}{O}_{3} are amphoteric, amphoteric oxides can react with acids as well as bases.
oxides of ln and Tl are basic.
As we move down the group basicity of oxides increases due to increase in metallic character of elements
