Question

The formula of inorganic benzene is________.

Answer 1

• Inorganic benzene is also known as borazine which is an inorganic and cyclic compound.
• Its chemical formula is ${\left(\mathrm{BH}\right)}_3{\left(\mathrm{NH}\right)}_3$
• There are three $\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{H}$ units and three$\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ units alternate.
• Borazine is called ‘inorganic benzene’ because the compound is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene.
• The other similarities are it is also a colorless liquid with an aromatic smell.
• The structure of borazine is shown below:

Therefore, the chemical formula of inorganic benzene is ${\left(\mathrm{BH}\right)}_3{\left(\mathrm{NH}\right)}_3$.
