Question

Discuss the basic nature of the hydroxides of Al and B

Answer 1

Aluminium hydroxide is more basic than boron hydroxide bcoz as we move down the grp...

The size of atom increases so electons are loosely bound in their orbits so they can donate their electons easily.....

And therefore the basic strength increases down the grp....

Answer 2

Answer:

Aluminum hydroxide is amphoteric, whereas boron hydroxide is acidic.

Explanation

Boron hydroxide

• Because they are non-metals, they are acidic in nature.
• With a ph of 5.1, B(OH)3 is a weak acid.
• In boiling water, it is fairly soluble, but less so in cold water.
• Antiviral, antifungal, and antiseptic effects are all present in it.
• It doesn't have a distinctive odour.
• This chemical can be found in either a colourless crystal or a white powdered form under normal circumstances.

Aluminium hydroxide

• Because it is a weak electrolyte and is somewhat ionised, Al(OH)3 is amphoteric in nature and has a weak base.
• Gibbsite and its polymorphs, such as doyleite, nordstrandite, and bayerite, can be found in nature.
• Heartburn, sour stomach, and peptic ulcers are treated with aluminium hydroxide.
