Hydride of boron occurs as B_2 H_6 but B_2 Cl_6 does not exist....

Hydride of boron occurs as B2H6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 but B2Cl6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_6 does not exist. This is because

Options

  1. Apπ−dπp \pi-d \pi back bonding is possible in B2H6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 but not in B2Cl6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_6
  2. Bboron and hydrogen have almost equal values of electronegativity
  3. Cboron and chlorine have almost equal atomic sizes
  4. Dsmall hydrogen atoms can easily fit in between boron atoms but large chlorine atoms do not.

Correct answer

D. small hydrogen atoms can easily fit in between boron atoms but large chlorine atoms do not.
