Water gas is produced from synthesis gas, which is composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Syngas is a useful product, but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The water-gas shift reaction can be used to reduce the carbon monoxide while producing additional hydrogen, resulting in water gas.
H2O + C → H2 + CO (ΔH = +131 kJ/mol)

Carbon cannot have a valency beyond four
C6 = 1s22s22p2
While silicon can extended covalency from 4 to 6
Si14 = 1s22s22p63s23p2
This is because of the absence of d-orbitals in the valence shell of carbon and presence of 3d-orbtials in the valence shell of silicon. Since silicon has vacant 3d- orbitals, it can accept electrons from electron donating species such as F- ion to form complex ion.

Stereoisomers which are related to each other as mirror images are called enantiomers. Enantiomers can contain any number of stereogenic centers, as long as each center is the exact mirror image of the corresponding center in the other molecule.

Like Li and Be, boron – the first member of group 13 – also shows anomalous behavior due to its low size and high nuclear charge/size ratio, high electronegativity and non – availability of d electrons. The main point of differences is:-
1. Boron is a typical non-metal whereas other members are metals.
2. Boron is a bad conductor of electricity whereas others are good conductors.
3. Boron shows allotropy and exists in two forms—crystalline and amorphous. Aluminum is a soft metal and does not exist in different forms.
4. Like other non metals, the melting point and boiling point of boron are much highr than those of others elements of group 13.
5. Boron forms only covalent compounds whereas aluminum and other elements of group 13 also do form some ionic compounds.
6. Hydroxides and oxides of boron are acidic in nature whereas those of others are amphoteric and basic.
7. The trihalides of boron exist as monomers. On the other hand, aluminium halides exist as dimmers.
8. The hydrides of boron i.e. boranes are quite stable while those of alumimium are unstable.
9. Dilute acids have no action on boron. Other members of group 13 liberate h2 from dilute acids.
10. Borates are more stable than aluminates.
11. Boron exhibit maximum covalency of four e.g., BH4- ion while other members exhibit a maximum covalency of six e.g.
12. Boron does not decompose steam while other members do so.

We know that in ice, each oxygen atom is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms in such a way that the two hydrogen atoms are linked to an oxygen atom by covalent bonds whereas the other two hydrogen atoms are linked by hydrogen bonds. In ice (solid state), a water molecule is associated with four other water molecules through hydrogen bonding in a tetrahedral manner. This gives rise to open cage-like structure which prevents the close packing of molecules (lower density). When ice absorbs heat and melts to form water, the hydrogen bonds break and close packing of water molecules takes place. Due to this close packing, the density of water is higher than that of ice and hence ice floats over water.
