The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the oxides of group 13 elements, we need to analyze each oxide provided in the options and determine their nature (acidic, basic, or amphoteric). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Group 13 Elements**: The group 13 elements include boron (B), aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), and thallium (Tl). The oxides given in the question are: - A) \( B_2O_3 \) - B) \( Al_2O_3 \) - C) \( Ga_2O_3 \) - D) \( In_2O_3 \) 2. **Analyze Each Oxide**: - **\( B_2O_3 \)**: Boron oxide is known to be acidic in nature. Non-metal oxides are typically acidic. - **\( Al_2O_3 \)**: Aluminium oxide is amphoteric. It can react with both acids and bases. - **\( Ga_2O_3 \)**: Gallium oxide is also amphoteric, similar to aluminium oxide. - **\( In_2O_3 \)**: Indium oxide is generally considered to be amphoteric as well. 3. **Determine the Nature of Each Oxide**: - \( B_2O_3 \): Acidic - \( Al_2O_3 \): Amphoteric - \( Ga_2O_3 \): Amphoteric - \( In_2O_3 \): Amphoteric 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the oxides of group 13 elements can be categorized as follows: - Acidic: \( B_2O_3 \) - Amphoteric: \( Al_2O_3 \), \( Ga_2O_3 \), \( In_2O_3 \) 5. **Final Answer**: The oxides of group 13 elements that are amphoteric are \( Al_2O_3 \) and \( Ga_2O_3 \). Therefore, the correct options are B and C.
