Which of the following elements do you think can react with water?(a) Thallium(b) Boron(c) Aluminium(d) GalliumThis question was posed to me in semester exam.I'd like to ask this question from p-Block Elements in division p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Thallium

To explain I would say: Both BORON and aluminium do not react with water but amalgamated aluminium REACTS with water and evolves hydrogen. Gallium and indium do not react with cold or hot water but thallium FORMS an OXIDE layer on the SURFACE.
