MCQ
An aqueous solution of borax is:
  • A
    Neutral.
  • B
    Amphoteric.
  • Basic.
  • D
    Acidic.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Basic.
Borax is a salt of a strong base $\ce{(NaOH)}$ and a weak acid $(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{BO}_3).$ It is, therefore, basic in nature.

Out of the following which one has the highest values of covalent character ?
The reaction $2A(g)+ B(g)  \rightleftharpoons  3C(g) + D(g)$ is began with the concentrations of $A$ and $B$ both at an initial value of $1.00\, M$. When equilibrium is reached, the concentration of $D$ is measured and found to be $0.25\, M$. The value for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is given by the expression
$B$ has a smaller first ionization enthalpy than $Be$. Consider the following statements :

$(I)$ It is easier to remove $2 \mathrm{p}$ electron than $2 \mathrm{s}$ electron

$(II)$ $2 \mathrm{p}$ electron of $\mathrm{B}$ is more shielded from the nucleus by the inner core of electrons than the $2 s$ electrons of $Be.$

$(III)\; 2 s$ electron has more penetration power than $2 \mathrm{p}$ electron.

$(IV)$ atomic radius of $\mathrm{B}$ is more than $\mathrm{Be}$

(Atomic number $\mathrm{B}=5, \mathrm{Be}=4$ )

The correct statements are
