The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$BCl_{3}+3H_{2}O \to H_{3}BO_{3} +3HCl$ $ {BCl_3}$ is completely hydrolysed by water yielding horic acid and hydrochloric acid $ {BCl_3 + 3 H_2O -> H_3BO_3 + 3 HCl}$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
