• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\mathbf{Antimony}\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{Sb}\mathbf{\right)}\mathbf{:}$

• $\mathrm{Antimony}\left(\mathrm{Sb}\right)$ is used in making lead storage batteries because lead-containing antimony is harder and more resistant to the action of acids than ordinary lead.
• $\mathrm{Antimony}\left(\mathrm{Sb}\right)$ could be suitable for rechargeable lithium and sodium-ion batteries because it can store both kinds of ions.
• $\mathrm{Antimony}\left(\mathrm{Sb}\right)$ to achieve its high storage capability, It needs to be produced in a special form.

Thus, the given statement is True. I.e., Antimony is used in storage batteries.
