Anomalous properties of Boron

Question

Which one of the following is a correct statement

Easy

A

The hydroxide of Al is more acidic than boron
B

The hydroxide of boron is basic, while that of Al is amphoteric
C

The hydroxide of boron is acidic, while that of Al is amphoteric
D

The hydroxides of both boron and Al are amphoteric

Solution

$Acidic\,strength\,\,order$
$\mathop {\mathop {B{{\left( {OH} \right)}_3}}\limits_{Acidic\,\,oxide} }\limits_{\,\,} > \,\mathop {Al{{\left( {OH} \right)}_3}}\limits_{Amphoteric\,oxide}$
Amphoteric oxide means it has both acidic as well as basic properties.
