Which one of the following is correct?
Options
- AThallium is more electropositive than aluminium
- BBoron has high electrical conductivity
- CAn aqueous solution of ortho boric acid is generally used as a mild antiseptic
- DBoron -11 ( ¹¹ ~B ) isotope has high ability to absorb neutrons
Correct answer
C. An aqueous solution of ortho boric acid is generally used as a mild antiseptic
Step-by-step solution
Thallium electronegativity =1.62 (Pauling scale) Aluminium electronegativity =1.61 Boron is a bad conductor of electricity at low temperatures. B-11 isotope is a stable and non-radioactive isotope. An aqueous solution of orthoboric acid is generally used as a mild antiseptic.
