Open in App
Solution

(i) The chemical reaction of boron with chlorine at a high temperature is as follows :

2B(s)+3Cl2(g) Δ 2BCl3(g)

Boron reacts with chlorine to form boron trichloride.

(ii) The chemical reaction of boron with oxygen at a high temperature is as follows :

4B(s)+3O2(g) Δ 2B2O3(s)

Boron reacts with oxygen to form diboron trioxide.

(iii) The chemical reaction of boron with nitrogen at a high temperature is as follows :

2B(s)+N2(g) Δ 2BN(s)

Boron reacts with nitrogen to form boron nitride.
