Which of the following statements are correct? (i) Aluminium forms [AlF6]^3- ion while boron forms only [BF4]^- ion due to presence of d-orbitals in aluminium.
Which of the following statements are correct?
(i) Aluminium forms [AlF6]3- ion while boron forms only [BF4]- ion due to presence of d-orbitals in aluminium.
(ii) The first member of a group differs from the heavier members in its ability to form pπ-pπ multiple bonds to itself and to other second row elements. While heavier member forms dπ-pπ bonds.
(iii) d-orbitals contribute more to the overall stability of molecules than pπ-pπ bonding of second row elements.
(a) (i) (ii) (iii)
(b) (i) (iii)
(c) (i) (ii)
(d) (ii) (iii)
Correct answer: (c) (i) (ii)
Explanation:
d-orbitals are of higher energy than the p -orbitals, they contribute less to the overall stability of molecules than pπ-pπ bonding of the second row elements.
