Which one of the following elements is unable to form MF63- ion?

  1. Ga
  2. Al
  3. B
  4. In

Answer

(3) B

Solution

As per NCERT, boron has no d orbitals in its valence shell (only 2s and 2p) ⇒ its maximum covalency is 4 (e.g. [BF4]-).

Al, Ga and In have vacant d orbitals ⇒ they can expand their covalency to 6 and form [MF6]3- (e.g. [AlF6]3-).

∴ B cannot form BF63-.

Answer: (3)

It is because of inability of ns2 electrons of the valence shell to participate in bonding that

  1. Sn2+ is oxidising while Pb4+ is reducing
  2. Sn2+ and Pb2+ are both oxidising and reducing
  3. Sn4+ is reducing while Pb4+ is oxidising
  4. Sn2+ is reducing while Pb4+ is oxidising
