Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub
Which of the following order is/are correct for inorganic benzene?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Inorganic benzene (borazine, B₃N₃H₆) is more reactive than benzene due to polarity. It is planar and non-polar overall. The -bond nodal plane is the molecular plane. All 12 atoms (3 B, 3 N, 6 H) lie in the same plane.
A. Correct. The nodal plane of the -bond in borazine is indeed the molecular plane, similar to benzene.
B. Correct. Borazine is more reactive than benzene due to the polarity of the B-N bonds, which makes it susceptible to addition reactions.
C. Correct. Borazine is a planar molecule. Although individual B-N bonds are polar, the molecule has a D₃h symmetry, making it non-polar overall.
D. Correct. Borazine (B₃N₃H₆) is a planar molecule. All 3 boron atoms, 3 nitrogen atoms, and 6 hydrogen atoms lie in the same plane, totaling 12 atoms.
