The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down each statement step by step and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: B₂O₃ is more acidic than BeO. - **Explanation**: In the periodic table, as we move from left to right across a period, the oxides of elements tend to become more acidic. Metals typically form basic oxides, while non-metals form acidic oxides. - Beryllium (Be) is a metal and forms BeO, which is a basic oxide. Boron (B), on the other hand, is a metalloid and forms B₂O₃, which is an acidic oxide. - Therefore, since B₂O₃ is an acidic oxide and BeO is a basic oxide, it follows that B₂O₃ is indeed more acidic than BeO. **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: Ionization energy of B is more than Be. - **Explanation**: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. - The electronic configuration of Beryllium (Be) is 1s² 2s², and for Boron (B), it is 1s² 2s² 2p¹. - Beryllium has a completely filled outer shell (2s²), which makes it more stable and requires more energy to remove an electron compared to Boron, which has an unfilled p-orbital (2p¹). - Thus, it is easier to remove an electron from Boron than from Beryllium, indicating that the ionization energy of Beryllium is greater than that of Boron. **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion - Statement 1 is correct: B₂O₃ is more acidic than BeO. - Statement 2 is incorrect: The ionization energy of B is not more than that of Be; it is the other way around. ### Answer - Statement 1 is correct, and Statement 2 is incorrect.
