The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$H _{3} BO _{3}$ is a weak Lewis monobasic acid, because it can only accept a pair of electron. None of its hydrogens are ionisable.

Note $H _{3} PO _{3}$ is a dibasic acid, $H _{3} PO _{4}$ is a tribasic acid, $HNO _{3}$ is a strong monobasic acid and $H _{4} P _{2} O _{7}$ is a tetrabasic acid.

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
