Correct Answer: <span>They have small differences in electronegativity (statement 3)
Reason:
The nature of chemical bond between atoms is primarily driven by the electronegativity difference between constituent atoms. If electronegativity difference between constituent atoms is significantly higher, ionic bond formation is preferred. On other hand, low difference in electronegativity values, favours formation of covalent bond.

Explanation:
It is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.
Mathematically, Molarity = 
Hence, calculate the molarity of given solution as follows.
Molarity of citric acid = 
= 
= 0.173 M
As citric acid is a triprotic acid so, upon dissociation it gives three hydrogen ions.
Normality = Molarity × no. of hydrogen or hydroxide ions
= 0.173 × 3
= 0.519 N
Thus, we can conclude that molarity of given solution is 0.173 and its normality is 0.519 N.
Boric acid, H3BO3, in aqueous solution would only give out one H+ ion. As it is also produce OH ion and by hydrolysis it produces one proton. <span>All the boron compounds (BX3) are having only 6 valence electrons in it and should follow the octet rule by taking another electron.</span>
B(OH)3 + 2 H2O → B(OH)4− + H3O
