The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the impurities found in bauxite ore, we will analyze the statements provided and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Composition of Bauxite:** - Bauxite ore is primarily composed of aluminum oxide, specifically in its hydrated form, which is represented as Al2O3·2H2O. 2. **Identify Common Impurities:** - Bauxite is typically contaminated with impurities such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), and titanium dioxide (TiO2). - For the purpose of this question, we will consider SiO2 as oxide X and Fe2O3 as oxide Y. 3. **Classify the Elements:** - Silicon (Si) in SiO2 is a non-metal and belongs to the p-block of the periodic table, specifically in the third period. - Iron (Fe) in Fe2O3 is a metal and belongs to the d-block of the periodic table, specifically in the fourth period. 4. **Evaluate the Statements:** - **Statement A:** "X is a non-metal belongs to 3rd, Y is a metal." - This statement is correct because Si is a non-metal in the third period and Fe is a metal in the fourth period. - **Statement B:** "One of the two oxides has a three-dimensional polymeric structure." - This statement is also correct. SiO2 can form a polymeric structure (like chain or sheet silicates), while Fe2O3 has an ionic structure. - **Statement C:** "Both A and B are correct." - Since both statements A and B are correct, this statement is also correct. 5. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is that both statements A and B are correct. ### Final Answer: Both A and B are correct. ---
