Boric acid is polymeric due to :

A

a tribasic and weak Bronsted acid.

B

polymeric due to the presence of hydrogen bonds.

C

obtained by the hydrolysis of only boron halides and not by the hydrolysis of boron hydrides with water or dilute acids.

D

highly soluble in cold water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
`(1)` It is a weak monobasic Lewis acid.
`(2)` It has layer structure in which planar `BO_(4)` units are joined by hydrogen bonds giving polymer structure.
`(3)` Can be obtained by the hydrolysis of boron halids as well as boron hydrides with water or dilute acids.
`(4)` It is sparingly in cold water and highly soluble in hot water.
