Give the chemical reaction for the preparation of a borax bead.

Identify the correct statements from the following :
$I$. $Ga_2O_3$ is an amphoteric oxide.
$II$. The dimer of aluminium chloride has three $Al-Cl-Al$ bridge bonds.
$III$. Boron is a very hard refractory solid of high melting temperature.

Which of the following produce an alkaline solution when dissolved in water?
$(i)$ Borax
$(ii)$ Potash alum
$(iii)$ $SO_2$
$(iv)$ $SO_2(OH)_2$

Which of the following is the correct order of the reducing power of $Al, Ga, In,$ and $Tl$?

$X$ reacts with aqueous $NaOH$ to form $Y$ and releases $H_2$ gas. When the aqueous solution of $Y$ is heated at $323 \ K - 333 \ K$ and $CO_2$ gas is passed through it,it yields $Al_2O_3 \cdot xH_2O$ (often represented as $Al(OH)_3$) and $Z$. Heating $Z$ at $1200 \ ^\circ C$ gives $Al_2O_3$. Identify $X, Y,$ and $Z$.

Identify the correct statements from the following:
$i$. $H_3BO_3$ is a monobasic acid.
$ii$. The correct formula of borax is $Na_2[B_4O_5(OH)_4] \cdot 8H_2O$.
$iii$. $NaBH_4$ is a reducing agent.
