The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements regarding the oxides of group 13 elements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I: Boron trioxide is acidic.** - Boron (B) is a non-metal, and its oxide, boron trioxide (B₂O₃), behaves as an acidic oxide. Non-metal oxides are generally acidic in nature. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II: Oxides of aluminium and gallium are amphoteric.** - Aluminium (Al) and gallium (Ga) oxides, namely Al₂O₃ and Ga₂O₃, can react with both acids and bases. This property classifies them as amphoteric oxides. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III **Statement III: Oxides of indium and thallium are basic.** - Indium (In) and thallium (Tl) are metals, and their oxides (In₂O₃ and Tl₂O₃) tend to exhibit basic properties. As we move down the group, the metallic character increases, leading to more basic behavior in their oxides. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion Since all three statements are correct, the correct option is: **Option B: First, second, and third statements are correct.** ---
