Observe the following statements
1)

{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{O}_3}

is used as antiseptic
2) In

{\mathrm{B}_\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{H}_\mathrm{6}}

each Boron atom is

\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{P}^\mathrm{2}}

hybridisation
3) An aqueous solution of borax is alkaline in nature
The correct statements are

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

1 and 3

Option D (1 and 3) is correct because boric acid (H3BO3) is used as an antiseptic, and an aqueous solution of borax is alkaline, while in B2H6 each Boron atom is sp3 hybridized.
