When an inorganic compound X having 3c−2e−3\text{c} - 2e^{−} as well as 2c−2e−2 \text{c} - 2 e^{-} bonds react with NH_{3} gas at a certain temperature, gives a compound Y, isostructural with benzene. Compound X with ammonia at a high temperature produces a substance Z, then

Options

  1. AX is BH_{3}, Y is B_{2}N_{2}H_{3}, Z is inorganic Benzene
  2. BX is B_{2}H_{6}, Y is B_{3}N_{3}H_{6}, Z is Boron nitride
  3. CX is borax, Y is B_{2}O_{3}, Z is inorganic Benzene
  4. DReactions insufficient to predict

Correct answer

B. X is B_{2}H_{6}, Y is B_{3}N_{3}H_{6}, Z is Boron nitride

Step-by-step solution

This problem is based on preparation of inorganic benzene and structural charactristics of diborane. Student must be familiar with concept of bonding in diborane to solve this problem. Identify the compounds and complete the chemical reaction using information supplied in the question.

B2H6(X)+2NH3(excess)→ΔLowtemperatureB2H6⋅2NH3→Δ473KB3N3H6borozole(Y)\mathop{{B}_{2} {H}_{6}}_{\left(\text{X}\right)} + {2NH}_{3} \left(\text{excess}\right)\mathop{→}_{Δ}^{\text{Low}\text{temperature}} {B}_{2} {H}_{6} ⋅ 2{NH}_{3} \mathop{→}_{Δ}^{473\text{K}} \mathop{{B}_{3} {N}_{3} {H}_{6}}_{\text{borozole}\left(\text{Y}\right)}

Y has structure similar to benzene (inorganic benzene)
