(A) It does not undergo self ionisation in water but accepts an electron pair from water, so it behaves as weak monobasic acid. Hence, (A) is incorrect.
H3BO3+H−OH⇌B(OH)−4+H+ ... (i)
(B) When treated with 1, 2-dihydroxy or polyhydroxy compounds, they form chelate (ring complex) which effectively removes [B(OH)−4] species from solution and thereby produce a maximum number of H3O+ or H+ ions, i.e. results in increased acidity.
(C) Boric acid crystallises in a layer structure in which planar triangular BO3−3 ions are bonded together through hydrogen bonds.
(D) H3BO3 is a weak electrolyte in water as in water the pKa value of H3BO3 is 9.25.
