Three pairs of compounds are given below. Identify the compound in each pair which has the group $13$ element in a more stable oxidation state. Give reasons for your choice and state the nature of bonding. $(A)$ $TlCl_3, TlCl$ $(B)$ $AlCl_3, AlCl$ $(C)$ $InCl_3, InCl$

Name the metals with which $Al$ can form alloys.

The correct formula of borax is $Na_2[B_4O_5(OH)_4] \cdot 8H_2O$. If the formula is represented as $Na_2[B_4O_5(OH)_x] \cdot yH_2O$, then the sum of $x$ and $y$ is:
