Answer and worked solution

Official answer: Bonus: full marks to everyone

All four statements are in fact true:

  • NOX+\ce{NO+} has 14 electrons and OX2\ce{O2} 16, so they are not isoelectronic.
  • Boron forms only covalent compounds.
  • TlX+\ce{Tl+} is more stable than Tl(III) (inert pair effect).
  • LiAlHX4\ce{LiAlH4} is a versatile reducing agent.

With no false statement to pick, the question was given marks to all.
