Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?

Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?

Options

  1. AC2H6\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6
  2. BB2H6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6
  3. CSiH4\mathrm{SiH}_4
  4. DpH3\mathrm{pH}_3

Correct answer

B. B2H6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6

Step-by-step solution

In diborane, 8 covalent bonds and 12 electrons are present. But it requires a total 14 electrons to form bonding. It lacks 2 electron pairs and forms a 3c−2e−3 c-2 e^{-}bond. Thus B2H6\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 is electron deficient. Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?
Related Theory The boron atom is known to be sp3s p^3 hybridized and has four hybrid orbitals. The two electrons of the hybrid orbitals in each of the boron atoms form 2 bonds with the Is hydrogen atoms. The two atoms of boron left with that of each unpaired electron orbital and empty orbital forms the two bridging (B−H−B)(B-H-B) bonds with that of the two Is hydrogen atoms, is also called as the banana bond.
