The variation in oxidation states across the elements of a group or period often reflects underlying trends in electronic configurations and chemical reactivity. Let's explore the pattern of oxidation states for the elements:
(i) Boron (B) to Thallium (Tl):
The trend across this group shows a general progression from +3 oxidation state (B, Al, Ga) to a more varied set of oxidation states as we move down the group, with elements like indium and thallium displaying a wider range of oxidation states due to the increasing ease of losing electrons as we move down the group.
(ii) Carbon (C) to Lead (Pb):
The trend across this group shows a general progression from a wider range of oxidation states (-4 to +4) for carbon to a narrower range of oxidation states (+2 to +4) for lead. This narrowing occurs due to the increasing size and decreasing electronegativity of the elements as we move down the group, making it less favorable for higher oxidation states to be stabilized.

The stability of BCl3 compared to TlCl3 can be attributed to several factors:
Electronegativity: Boron (B) is more electronegative than Thallium (Tl), which means that in BCl3, the bonding electrons are pulled closer to the boron atom, resulting in stronger B-Cl bonds. In contrast, Tl has relatively low electronegativity, leading to weaker Tl-Cl bonds in TlCl3.
Size of the central atom: Boron is smaller in size compared to thallium. In BCl3, the smaller size of boron allows for stronger bonds because the bonding electrons are held closer to the nucleus, leading to more effective overlap between the atomic orbitals, resulting in stronger bonding. In TlCl3, the larger size of thallium results in weaker bonds due to decreased effective overlap of atomic orbitals.
Steric effects: Thallium's larger size leads to greater steric hindrance compared to boron. This steric hindrance can destabilize the Tl-Cl bonds in TlCl3, making them more prone to breaking compared to the bonds in BCl3.
Polarity: BCl3 is a planar molecule with trigonal planar geometry, while TlCl3 adopts a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry due to the lone pair on the thallium atom. This lone pair contributes to the polarity of TlCl3, making it more prone to hydrolysis and other reactions compared to the non-polar BCl3.
In summary, the combination of higher electronegativity, smaller size, and less steric hindrance in BCl3 compared to TlCl3 leads to stronger and more stable bonds in BCl3.

Boron trifluoride, BF3BF3, behaves as a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base to form a coordinate covalent bond. In BF3BF3, boron has an incomplete octet, meaning it has only six electrons in its valence shell instead of the stable eight. This makes it electron deficient and eager to accept electron pairs to complete its octet.
When a Lewis base approaches BF3BF3, such as a molecule with a lone pair of electrons, like NH3NH3 or H2OH2O, the boron atom can accept the lone pair of electrons from the Lewis base, forming a coordinate covalent bond. This results in the formation of a complex, with the boron atom surrounded by more than the usual number of electron pairs, thus satisfying the octet rule.
So, in summary, BF3BF3 behaves as a Lewis acid because it can accept electron pairs from Lewis bases due to its electron deficiency.

BCl3 (boron trichloride) and CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) have different behaviors when they come into contact with water due to their molecular structures and properties.
BCl3 (Boron Trichloride):
CCl4 (Carbon Tetrachloride):
In summary, BCl3 reacts vigorously with water, undergoing hydrolysis to form acidic solutions due to its Lewis acidic nature, while CCl4 remains largely unreactive and immiscible with water due to its non-polar nature.

Boric acid is technically a weak Lewis acid rather than a protonic acid. Let me break it down:
Protonic Acid: Protonic acids, also known as Bronsted acids, are substances that can donate a proton (H⁺ ion) to another substance. In simpler terms, they are acids that readily release hydrogen ions in solution. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄).
Lewis Acid: In contrast, Lewis acids are substances that can accept a pair of electrons. They don't necessarily need to donate protons; instead, they can form a coordinate covalent bond by accepting an electron pair from another substance. Boric acid falls into this category.
Boric acid, chemically represented as H₃BO₃ or B(OH)₃, can act as a Lewis acid by accepting a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. Its behavior as an acid is due to the ability of the boron atom to accept an electron pair from a base, forming a coordinate covalent bond. This property allows it to react with substances like alcohols or water to form borate ions.
While boric acid can behave as an acid in certain reactions, it's not as strong as typical protonic acids like hydrochloric acid. Its acidic properties are more subtle and primarily manifest in reactions where it acts as a Lewis acid.
