Statement (S): Acidic nature of boron trihalides is in the order :

\mathrm{BF}_3<\mathrm{BCl}_3<\mathrm{BBr}_3<\mathrm{BI}_3

Explanation (E): Basic nature of nitrogen trihalides is in the order :

\mathrm{NF}_3>\mathrm{NCl}_3>\mathrm{NBr}_3>\mathrm{NI}_3

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

S is correct but E is wrong

Option A is correct because the acidic nature of boron trihalides increases down the group due to increasing pπ-pπ back bonding, but the basic nature of nitrogen trihalides decreases down the group due to decreasing electronegativity.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: During the boiling of water having temporary hardness,

Mg{(HC{O_3})_2}

is converted to

MgC{O_3}

.
Reason R The solubility product of

Mg{(OH)_2}

is greater than that of

MgC{O_3}

.
