Answer» Correct Answer - 2 `(1)` It is a weak monobasic Lewis acid. `(2)` It has layer structure in which planar `BO_(4)` units are joined by hydrogen bonds giving polymer structure. `(3)` Can be obtained by the hydrolysis of boron halids as well as boron hydrides with water or dilute acids. `(4)` It is sparingly in cold water and highly soluble in hot water. |
