Which one of the following forms a basic oxide?
B
Tl
Al
Ga
C.
Al
More the element has metallic character, more basic its its oxide. As the metallic character increases down the group hence, thallium (Tl) has highest metallic character (among the given option) and forms the basic oxide.
Al and Ga form amphoteric oxide and B (Boron) forms acidic oxide.
The gas produced by the passage of air over hot coke is
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide
producer gas
water gas
The bonding in diborane (B2H6) can be described by
4 two centre - two electron bonds and 2 three - centre- two electron bonds

2 two centre - two electron bonds and 4 three centre - two electron bonds
4 two centre - two electron bonds and 4 two- centre- two electron bonds
The correct statements among I to III regarding group 13 element oxides are,
(I) Boron trioxide is acidic.
(II) Oxides of aluminium and gallium are amphoteric.
(III) Oxides of indium and thallium are basic.
