Hydrolysis of ${\mathrm{BCl}}_3$ gives X which on treatment with sodium carbonate produces Y. X and Y, respectively, are 

1.  ${\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{BO}}_3 \mathrm{and} {\mathrm{NaBO}}_2$

2.  ${\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{BO}}_3 \mathrm{and} {\mathrm{Na}}_2{B}_4{O}_7$

3.  ${\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3 \mathrm{and} {\mathrm{NaBO}}_2$

The element that combines with oxygen to give an amphoteric oxide is:

When a mixture of diborane and ammonia is heated, the final product is

1.  ${\mathrm{BH}}_3$

2.  ${\mathrm{NH}}_4{\mathrm{BH}}_4$

3.  ${\mathrm{NH}}_2{\mathrm{NH}}_2$

4.  ${\mathrm{B}}_3{\mathrm{N}}_3{\mathrm{H}}_6$

The bond energy of B-F bond in ${\mathrm{BF}}_3$ is 646 kJ ${\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$, while that of N-F bond in ${\mathrm{NF}}_3$ is 280 kJ ${\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$. This is because

1.  N is more electronegative than B

2.  The atomic mass of N is higher than that of B

3.  The B-F bond gets a partial double bond character due to p-p overlap

4.  N has a lone pair of electrons while B does not have
