Question

Which one of the following is the correct statement?

• A. B₃N₃H₆ is known as inorganic benzene
• B. Chlorides of both beryllium and aluminium have bridged chloride structure in gas phase
• C. Boric acid is a protonic acid
• D. Beryllium exhibits coordination number of six

Hint:

When studying molecular structures, identifying analogies with well-known molecules like benzene can help in predicting properties and reactivity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

B₃N₃H₆, also known as inorganic benzene, is a molecule that resembles benzene in structure and bonding but consists of boron and nitrogen atoms rather than carbon atoms.
It is often called inorganic benzene due to its similar bonding to the structure of benzene.
