The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct regarding the properties of certain compounds, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement:** B2O3 and SiO2 are acidic in nature and are important constituents of glass. - **Analysis:** - B2O3 (Boric oxide) is indeed an acidic oxide, as it is derived from a non-metal (Boron). - SiO2 (Silicon dioxide) can act as an acid and is also a significant component of glass. - Major components of glass include B2O3 and SiO2, along with some phosphorus pentoxide. **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement:** Borides and silicides are hydrolyzed to form boranes and silanes respectively. - **Analysis:** - Borides are compounds of boron with less electronegative elements, and when they undergo hydrolysis, they can form boranes (general formula BxHy). - Silicides are compounds of silicon with less electronegative elements, and they hydrolyze to form silanes (general formula SiH4). **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement:** Diborane on reaction with chlorine forms B2H5Cl. - **Analysis:** - Diborane (B2H6) reacts with chlorine to form boron trichloride (BCl3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl), not B2H5Cl. **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement 4 **Statement:** SiO4^4- gets hydrolyzed by acid or water and forms Si2O7^6-. - **Analysis:** - SiO4^4- (orthosilicate) can undergo hydrolysis to form Si2O7^6- (pyrosilicate) in the presence of acid or water. **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Final Summary: - **Correct Statements:** 1, 2, and 4. - **Incorrect Statement:** 3.

To determine which statements are correct regarding the properties of certain compounds, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement:** B2O3 and SiO2 are acidic in nature and are important constituents of glass. - **Analysis:** - B2O3 (Boric oxide) is indeed an acidic oxide, as it is derived from a non-metal (Boron). - SiO2 (Silicon dioxide) can act as an acid and is also a significant component of glass. ...
