Question

The similarities among the trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all group-13 elements is/are that they are (A) covalent in nature (B) hydrolysed in water (C) Both (a) and (b) (D) None of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all the group-

13

elements are covalent in nature and they are hydrolysed in water.
Species like tetrahedral

[M (O H)_{4}]^{-}

and octahedral

[M (H_{2} O)_{6}]^{3 +}

, except in boron, exist in aqueous medium.

Q. The similarities among the trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all group-13 elements is/are that they are

covalent in nature

hydrolysed in water

Both (a) and (b)

None of these

The trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all the group-13 elements are covalent in nature and they are hydrolysed in water. Species like tetrahedral [M(OH)4​]−and octahedral [M(H2​O)6​]3+, except in boron, exist in aqueous medium.

Q. The similarities among the trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all group- $13$ elements is/are that they are

The trichlorides, tribromides and triiodides of all the group- $13$ elements are covalent in nature and they are hydrolysed in water.
Species like tetrahedral $[M (O H)_{4}]^{-}$ and octahedral $[M (H_{2} O)_{6}]^{3 +}$ , except in boron, exist in aqueous medium.
