Question

Which of the following compound is known as inorganic benzene?

• A. $B_6{H}_6$
• B. $C_5{H}_{5}B$
• C. $C_3{N}_3{H}_3$
• D. $B_3{N}_3{H}_6$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $B_3{N}_3{H}_6$

Borazine is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula $\left(BH{)}_3\right(NH{)}_3$ or $B_3{N}_3{H}_6$. In this cyclic compound, the three BH units and three NH units alternate. The compound is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene. Like benzene, borazine is a colourless liquid.
Hence option D is correct.
