The incorrect statement from the following for borazine is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    It contains banana bonds
  • B

    It can react with water

  • C

    It is a cyclic compound

  • D

    It has electronic delocalization

Solution

The statement "It contains a banana bond" is incorrect about Borazine.

Borazine, also known as inorganic benzene or borazole, is a chemical compound with the formula B3N3H6. Borazine is a hexagonal planar molecule with alternating boron and nitrogen atoms, and it exhibits some structural and chemical similarities to benzene. Borazine is an aromatic compound with electron delocalization. It does not contain banana bond.

On heating, borazine hydrolyses slowly.B3 N3H6+9H2O→3NH3+3H3BO3+3H2O

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