Q12 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2017 (Paper 2) · Chemistry
Among the following, the correct statement(s) is(are)
- Correct answerAhas the three-centre two-electron bonds in its dimeric structure
- Bhas the three-centre two-electron bonds in its dimeric structure
- Correct answerChas the three-centre two-electron bonds in its dimeric structure
- Correct answerDThe Lewis acidity of is greater than that of
Solution
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) Lewis acidic strength decreases down the group. The decrease in acid strength occurs because as size increases, the attraction between the incoming electron pair and the nucleus weakens.
Hence Lewis acidic strength of is more than
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'C', 'D'.
