Consider the following reaction scheme:

Reaction scheme identifying A, B, C, D

"A" & "C" produce green flame on bunsen burner. Which of the following is INCORRECT?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

From the scheme: A = BF₃, B = NaH, C = B₂H₆ and D = NaF.

B₂H₆ is electron deficient. NaH with water produces diamagnetic H₂.

BF₃ is less Lewis acidic than AlCl₃ because of pπ-pπ back bonding.

Thus statement C is incorrect.
