____________ and Boron are same in case when reacted with concentrated nitric acid.(a) Oxygen(b) Aluminium(c) Hydrogen(d) No other metalThe question was asked in an interview for job.My doubt stems from p-Block Elements topic in portion p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (d) No other metal

For explanation I would say: Boron can be oxidized by concentrated NITRIC acid, while ALUMINIUM BECOMES PASSIVE due to the formation of an oxide layer on the surface. Boron combines with nitric acid in order to produce boric acid and nitrous oxide.
