MCQ
$BCl_3$ does not exist as dimer but $BH_3$ exist as dimer $(B_2H_6)$ becuase
  • A
    Chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen
  • B
    There is $p\pi -p \pi $ back bonding in $BCl_3$ but does not contain such multiple bonding
  • Large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small boron atoms whereas small sized hydrogenatoms get fitted between boron atoms
  • D
    none of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
Large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small boron atoms whereas small sized hydrogenatoms get fitted between boron atoms
c
Large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small baron atoms whereas small sized hydrogen atoms get fitted in between boron atoms so $BCl _3$ does not exist as dimer but $BH _3$ exist as dimer $\left( B _2 H _6\right)$.

$B _2 H _6+ H _2 O \stackrel{\text { Cold is enough }}{\longrightarrow} H _3 BO _3+6 H _2$
