1.	The compounds formed by the Boron family are __________(a) ionic(b) covalent(c) both ionic and covalent(d) neither ionic nor covalentThis question was posed to me in final exam.Question is taken from p-Block Elements in section p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11
Answer» Right answer is (c) both ionic and COVALENT To explain I would say: Ionic compound formation’s tendency increases from Boron to thallium. Boron can only FORM covalent COMPOUNDS, whereas ALUMINIUM can form both covalent as well as ionic compounds. Gallium forms MAINLY ionic compounds.
