Contributor-Level 10
Electron deficient compounds are those in which the central atom in their molecule has the tendency to accept one or more electron pairs. They are also known as Lewis acid. BCl3 and SiCl4 both are electron deficient species.
Since, in BCl3, B atom has only six electrons. Therefore, it is an electron deficient compound.
In SiCl4 the central atom Si has 8 electrons but it can expand its covalency beyond 4 due to the presence of d-orbitals.

Aluminium reacts with acid as well as base. This shows amphoteric nature of aluminium.
2Al (s) + 6HCl (dil.) →2AlCl3 (aq) + 3H2 (g)
2Al (s) + 2NaOH (aq) + 6H2O (l) →2Na+ [Al (OH)4]– (aq) + 3H2 (g)

1.2 Molar mass of Na2SO4= (2 x Atomic mass of Sodium) + Atomic mass of Sulphur + (4 x Atomic mass of Oxygen)
= (2x 23) + 32 + (4x 16)
= 46 + 32 + 64
= 142 g/mol

The average cost of studying in the UAE for international students varies greatly as per the location, college and course, potentially ranging from AED 73,500 to AED 152,000 or higher, encompassing tuition fees (AED 37,500 - AED 110,000+ per year) and living expenses (AED 3,000 - AED 6,000+ per month).
Dubai and Abu Dhabi on the other hand tend to be more expensive than the other emirates in the UAE. While the above-mentioned ones are the general costs, additional costs of studying in the UAE include visa fees, health insurance, and textbooks. Note that the scholarships to study in the UAE are available at some universities.

On heating boric acid above 370 K, it forms metaboric acid, HBO2 which on further heating yields boric oxide B2O3.
H3B2O3 → HBO2 → B2O3

A p-type semiconductor is electrically neutral despite having more holes, because the number of positively charged holes is exactly balanced/equal by the number of negatively charged acceptor ions introduced during doping. so practically untill any volatage is applied the semiconductor remains chargeless in other words doesn't produce any current even after doping.
As per the NCERT Textbooks information"Although the number of holes is more than the number of electrons in a p-type semiconductor, the material as a whole is electrically neutral because the charge of holes is balanced by the negatively charged acceptor ions.”

Boric acid is a Lewis acid since it accepts electrons from hydroxyl ion of H2O molecule. It is not a protic acid.
B (OH)3 + 2HOH → [B (OH)4]– + H3O+

The UAE, particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is a good study destination due to its quality education, diverse environment, safety, and English-taught programs. While the cost of living can be high, it offers job opportunities and modern infrastructure. Sharjah and Ajman are also notable educational hubs.

In BCl3, there is only six electrons in the valence shell of B atom. Thus, the octet is incomplete and it can accept a pair of electrons from water and hence BCl3 undergoes hydrolysis. Whereas, in CCl4, C atom has 8 electrons and its octet is complete. That's why it has no tendency to react with water.

In BF3, central atom has only six electrons after sharing with the electrons of the F
atoms. It is an electron-deficient compound and thus behaves as a Lewis acid.

BCl3 is quite stable. Because there is absence of d- and f-electrons in boron three valence electrons (2s2 2px1) are there for bonding with chlorine atom. In Tl the valence s-electron (6s2) are experiencing maximum inert pair effect. Thus, only 6p1 electron is available for bonding. Therefore, BCl3 is stable but TlCl3 is comparatively unstable.

(i) B to Tl
Common oxidation states are +1 and +3. The stability of +3 oxidation state decreases from B to Tl while +1 oxidation state increases from B to Tl.
(ii) C to Pb
The common oxidation states are +4 and +2. Stability of +4 oxidation state decreases from C to Pb.

As per NCERT Textbboks"If forward current is too large, it can produce large heating and damage the junction. So, a resistor is used in series with the diode to limit the current in the circuit.”
It means when a semiconductor diode is connected to a source under high current it causes excess heat due to more electrical energy. This excess heat is responsible to damage the junction in semiconductor diode permanently. Student can check out NCERT Solutions for Semicondutor Electronics of class 12 physics.
