Correct answer is (c) four (using one 2 s and three 2 p orbitals)

Q. The second period elements of $p$ -block starting from boron, are restricted to a maximum covalency of

four (using $1 s, 2 s$ and two $2 p$ orbitals)

six (using $1 s$ and $2 s$ -orbitals)

four (using one $2 s$ and three $2 p$ orbitals)

six (using $1 s$ and three $2 p$ orbitals)

Correct answer is (c) four (using one $2 s$ and three $2 p$ orbitals)

Q. The second period elements of p-block starting from boron, are restricted to a maximum covalency of

four (using 1s,2s and two 2p orbitals)

six (using 1s and 2s-orbitals)

four (using one 2s and three 2p orbitals)

six (using 1s and three 2p orbitals)
