1.	Among the halides of the elements of group 13 the one which is most acidic isA. `BF_(3)`B. `AlCl_(3)`C. `BCl_(3)`D. `B Br_(3)`
Answer» Correct Answer - D `B BF_(3)` can accept the electrons most readily because it is much more electron deficient than `BF_(3)`. The decreasing order of activity is `B Br_(3) gt BCl_(3) gt BF_(3)`.
