NEETChemistryHydrogen
Which is the correct statement regarding electron-deficient,electron-precise or electron-rich compounds of hydrogen, along with suitable examples?
Options
- AElectron-deficient compounds have an excess of electrons, like ammonia (NH 3 ).
- BElectron-precise compounds have exactly the right number of electrons for stability, like methane (CH 4 ).
- CElectron-rich compounds lack sufficient electrons for stability, like borane (BH 3 ).
- DElectron-rich compounds have unpaired electrons, like hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ).
Correct answer
B. Electron-precise compounds have exactly the right number of electrons for stability, like methane (CH 4 ).
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Electron-precise compounds have exactly the right number of electrons for stability, like methane (CH 4 ).
