Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Boron is extremely hard indicating its high lattice energy
Statement II: Boron has highest melting and boiling point compared to its other group members.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement I: Boron is extremely hard indicating its high lattice energy
Statement II: Boron has highest melting and boiling point compared to its other group members.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- Both Statement I and Statement II is correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II is incorrect
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Solution:
Statement I: Boron is extremely hard indicating its high lattice energy.
Boron forms a giant covalent structure rather than an ionic lattice. Its hardness is due to its strong covalent network, not high lattice energy. Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
Statement II: Boron has the highest melting and boiling point compared to its other group members.
Boron has a very high melting and boiling point due to its strong covalent network structure. This is true compared to the other group 13 elements. Therefore, Statement II is correct.
Therefore, Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Correct Answer: (1) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Top Questions on Bohr’s Model for Hydrogen Atom
- Consider an electron in the $ n = 3 $ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $ Z $. At absolute temperature $ T $, a neutron having thermal energy $ k_B T $ has the same de Broglie wavelength as that of this electron. If this temperature is given by $$ T = \frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B} $$ (where $ h $ is Planck’s constant, $ k_B $ is Boltzmann’s constant, $ m_N $ is the mass of the neutron, and $ a_0 $ is the Bohr radius), then the value of $ \alpha $ is ___.
