    Which one of the following statements is not correct?

    A) Moissan boron is amorphous

    B) The reaction between boron and concentrated \[\text{HN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]gives \[{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\]

    C) Amorphous boron on heating with oxygen forms \[{{\text{B}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    D) Boron is a non-conductor of electricity

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Boron reacts with concentrated \[\text{HN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]to give orthoboric acid and nitrogen dioxide. \[\text{B}+\text{3HN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{B}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}+\text{3N}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]
