B-O bonds =14 B-O-B bonds =5 ∴ x-y=14-5=9 <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-aqgrg4y0zb0pn8rc.jpg" />

Q. The total number of boron-oxygen bonds in borax is $x$ and boron-oxygen-boron bonds are $y$ . Then the value of $x - y$ is:

$B - O$ bonds $= 14$
$B - O - B$ bonds $= 5$
$∴ x - y = 14 - 5 = 9$

Q. The total number of boron-oxygen bonds in borax is x and boron-oxygen-boron bonds are y . Then the value of x−y is:

B−O bonds =14 B−O−B bonds =5 ∴x−y=14−5=9

Q. The total number of boron-oxygen bonds in borax is $x$ and boron-oxygen-boron bonds are $y$ . Then the value of $x - y$ is:

$B - O$ bonds $= 14$
$B - O - B$ bonds $= 5$
$∴ x - y = 14 - 5 = 9$
