Q18 / 68 · NEST (NISER) 2023 (Session 1) · Chemistry

Boron on reaction with fluorine forms $\mathbf{P}$, which on reaction with NaH at a high temperature produces $\mathbf{Q}$ along with a sodium salt. $\mathbf{P}$ on reaction with $\mathrm{NH}_3$ in $1: 1$ ratio gives $\mathbf{R}$. $\mathbf{Q}$ on reaction with $\mathrm{NH}_3$ in $1: 2$ ratio at an elevated temperature gives S . The correct statement is

  • A
    $\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{N}$ bond in $\mathbf{R}$ is covalent in nature.
  • B
    $\mathrm{All}$ $\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds in $\mathbf{Q}$ are equivalent.
  • C
    The shape of $\mathbf{S}$ is tetrahedral.
  • Correct answer
    D
    Compound $\mathbf{Q}$ when dissolved in water gives an acid.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
