Question

Statement I $Al(OH{)}_3$ is amphoteric in nature.
Statement II $Al-O$ and $O-H$ bonds can be broken with equal case in $Al(OH{)}_3$
(1) Statement I is correct: Statement II is correct; Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
(2) Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
(3) Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect.
(4) Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is true.

Answer 1

$Al(OH{)}_3$ is amphoteric
$\underset{\text{Base}}{Al(OH{)}_3}+3HCl\to AlC{l}_3+3H_{2}O$
$\underset{\text{Acid}}{Al(OH{)}_3}+NaOH\to Na[Al(OH{)}_4]$
High charge and small size of $A{l}^{3+}$ makes $Al-O$ and $O-H$ bonds equally ionisable.
