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.

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.
