NEETChemistryHydrogen
What characteristics do you expect from an electron-deficient hydride with respect to its structure and chemical reactions?
Options
- AElectron-deficient hydrides have an excess of electrons and are highly stable.
- BElectron-deficient hydrides have exactly the right number of electrons for stability.
- CElectron-deficient hydrides lack sufficient electrons for stability and readily accept electrons from other at
- DElectron-deficient hydrides have unpaired electrons in their electron configuration.
Correct answer
C. Electron-deficient hydrides lack sufficient electrons for stability and readily accept electrons from other at
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Electron-deficient hydrides lack sufficient electrons for stability and readily accept electrons from other atoms.
