Q80 / 160 · JIPMER 2010 · Chemistry

Inorganic benzene is

  • A
    $\mathrm{B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_6 \mathrm{H}_3$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6$
  • C
    $\mathrm{Al}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6$
  • D
    None of these

Solution

$\mathrm{B}_3 \mathrm{~N}_3 \mathrm{H}_6$ (borazine) is known as inorganic benzene. Borazine is isoelectronic (ie, same number of electrons) and isosteric (ie, same number of atoms) with benzene. Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
