MCQ
Which of the following is an electron deficient molecule?
- A$LiH$
- ✓$B_2H_6$
- C$LiBH_4$
- D$B_3N_3H_6$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$B_2H_6$
b
$\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}$ is electron deficient molecule because boron atom has three half-filled orbitals in an excited state.
$\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}$ is electron deficient molecule because boron atom has three half-filled orbitals in an excited state.
The structure of $\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}$ is represented as follows:
In it, two electrons of $\mathrm{B}$ -H bond are involved in the formation of three centre bond, these bonds are represented by a dotted line.
Hence, option A is correct.
