A pair of isosteric compounds is
- H2NBH2 and C2H6
- H3N·BH3 and C2H6
- B2H6 and C2H6
- H3N·BH3 and B2H6
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Isosteric compounds are those that have the same number of atoms and a similar molecular structure, but different elements. H3N·BH3 and C2H6 are isosteric because they both contain six atoms, including the same number of hydrogen and non-hydrogen atoms.
Thus, the correct answer is (B).
