Red liquor is:

1.  ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COO}\right)}_3 \mathrm{Al}$

2.  $\mathrm{Al}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3$

3.  ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{\left({\mathrm{CO}}_3\right)}_3$

4.  ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{\left({\mathrm{SO}}_4\right)}_3$

${\mathrm{BCl}}_3$ does not exist as dimer but ${\mathrm{BH}}_3$ exist as dimer $\left({\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6\right)$ because:

1.chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen

2.there is $\mathrm{p\pi }-\mathrm{p\pi }$ back bonding in ${\mathrm{BCl}}_3$ but ${\mathrm{BH}}_3$ does not contain such multiple bonding

3.large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small boron atoms whereas small sized hydrogen atoms get fitted between boron atoms

4.none of the above

Which of the following imparts green colour to flame?

1.  $\mathrm{B}{\left(\mathrm{OMe}\right)}_3$

2.  $\mathrm{Na}\left(\mathrm{OMe}\right)$

3.  $\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{OBr}}_2\right)}_3$

4.  $\mathrm{Sn}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2$

Borax bead test is responded by:

1.  Divalent metals

2.  Heavy metals

3.  Light metals

4.  Metal which forms coloured metaborates

Diborane does not undergo cleavage reaction with:

1.  trimethyl amine

2.  ammonia

3.  $\mathrm{CO}$

4.  ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$

Boric acid is not used:

1. As an antiseptic

2. As a flux in soldering

3. In making optical glasses

4. In making enamels and pottery glazes

Heating an aqueous solution of aluminium chloride to dryness will give:

1.  ${\mathrm{AlCl}}_3$

2.  ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{\mathrm{Cl}}_6$

3.  ${\mathrm{Al}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$

4.  $\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{OH}\right){\mathrm{Cl}}_2$

Carbon dioxide is a gas but silica is a solid because:

1.  carbon dioxide is composed of discrete covalent ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules whereas silica has continuous

     tetrahedral structure

2.  ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules are lighter than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ molecules

3.  ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is more acidic than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$

4.  melting point of silica is very high

The greatest percentage of $\mathrm{CO}$ is in:

1.  coal gas

2.  producer gas

3.  water gas

4.  oil gas

2.  $\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{C}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{C}—\mathrm{Si}$

3.  $—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—\mathrm{O}—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—\mathrm{O}—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—$

4.  $\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}$
