In which of the following molecules is hydrogen bond absent?

  1. Water

  2. Inorganic benzene

  3. Diborane

  4. Methanol


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As there is no lone pair of electrons present on the boron in diborane it do not form a hydrogen bond.But in water inorganic benzene and methanol there is a lone pair of electrons on oxygen, nitrogen and oxygen respectively so they form hydrogen bonding between most electronegative atom like nitrogen oxygen and hydrogen.
Hence option $D$ is correct.

Which of the following molecular hydride acts as a lewis acid?

  1. $CH _4$

  2. $NH _3$

  3. $H _2O$

  4. $B _2H _6$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$B _2H _6$ is a electron deficient molecule so it acts like an acid(acid is the substance which accepts the pair of electrons). $CH _4,NH _3,H _2O$ allare having lone pairs on central atoms.
Hence option D is correct.

The most acidic compound among the following is:

  1. $P _2O _3$

  2. $Sb _2O _3$

  3. $B _2O _3$

  4. $As _2O _3$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As the size of the boron is less it forms a more acidic oxide (the elements with less atomic size forms most acidic oxides)
So, $B _2O _3$ is most acidic.
Hence option $C$ is correct.

When $NaBH _4$ reacts with $HI$,the product formed is:

  1. $B _2H _6$

  2. $B _2H _4$

  3. $H _3BO _3$

Which one of the following molecular hydrides acts as a Lewis acid?

  1. NH$ _{3}$

  2. H$ _{2}$O

  3. B$ _{2}$H$ _{6}$

  4. CH$ _{4}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
According to the definition a molecule which can accept a lone pair is called a lewis acid.
$A)$ Ammonia has a lone pair on nitrogen,so it can donate the lone pair rather than accepting a lonepair.So,it is a lewis base.
$B)$Water has $2$ lone pairs on oxygen so it cannot accept any further lonepairs,so water is a lewis base not a lewis acid.
$C)$In diborane the bonds found are banana bonds or tau bonds so it has a tendency to accept a lone pair because it has empty orbitals.So it can be considered as a lewis acid.
$D)$Carbon usually doesn't accept or donate lonepair,so it is neither a lewis base nor lewis acid.We can consider it as a neutral molecule. 

In diborane, boron involves:

  1. no hybridization

  2. sp hybridization

  3. $sp^2$ hybridization

  4. $sp^3$ hybridization


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Why do boron and aluminium halides behave as Lewis acids?

  1. Both halides $(MX _3)$ can accept electrons from a donor to complete their octet.

  2. Both halides $(MX _3)$ can donate a pair of electrons.

  3. Both halides $(MX _3)$ are covalent polymeric structures.

  4. Both halides $(MX _3)$ react with water to give hydroxides and HCI.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Answer:- (A) Both halides can accept electrons from a donor to complete their octet.
$\because$ Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor and both boron and aluminium in their tri-halides $(MX _3)$ possess six electrons in their valence shell. 
Hence, to complete their octet, they can accept a lone pair of electrons.
Thus, both behave as Lewis acid.

Which of the following is not true regarding the nature of halides of boron?

  1. Boron trihalides are covalent.

  2. Boron trihalides are planar triangular with $sp^2$ hybridisation.

  3. Boron trihalides act as Lewis acids.

  4. Boron trihalides cannot be hydrolysed easily.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Boron trihalides like $BF _{3}$ are covalent in nature. These are forming with $sp^{2}$ hybridization in the shape of triangular planar. All trihalides are strong in acidic nature, as Lewis acids. They react with water to form boric acid. 

The sequence for the Lewis acidity is $BF _{3} < BCl _{3} < BBr _{3}$, where $BBr _{3}$ is the strongest Lewis acid. But these trihalides can be easily hydrolyzed except $BF _3$ due to the highly stable nature of $BF _3$.

Thus option D is correct.

Compound $(X)$ on reduction with $LiAlH _4$ gives a hydride $(Y)$ containing 21.72% hydrogen along with other products. The compound $(Y)$ react with air explosively resulting in boron trioxide. Compounds $X$ and $Y$ are respectively:

  1. $BCl _3, B _2H _6$

  2. $B _2H _6,BCl _3$

  3. $BF _3,Al _2O _6$

  4. $B _2H _6,BF _3$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$(A)$ $B{Cl} _{3}, \; {B} _{2}{H} _{6}$
Since ${B} _{2}{O} _{3}$ is formed by reaction of $(Y)$ with air, $(Y)$ therefore should be ${B} _{2}{H} _{6}$ in which % of hydrogen is 21.72. 
${B} _{2}{H} _{6} + 3{O} _{2} \; \longrightarrow \; {B} _{2}{O} _{6} + 3{H} _{2}O + heat$
The compound $(X)$ on reduction with $LiAI{H} _{4}$ gives ${B} _{2}{H} _{6}$. Thus it is boron trihalide.
$4B{X} _{3} + 3LiAl{H} _{4} \; \longrightarrow \; 2{B} _{2}{H} _{6} + 3LiX + 3Al{X} _{3}$ ($X = CI$ or $Br$)

Hydrogen form a 'bridge' in the chemical structure of which of the following compound?

  1. Hydrogen peroxide

  2. Diborane

  3. Ice

  4. Lithium hydride


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In $B _2H _6$,the bonding between the boron atoms and the bridging hydrogen atoms is, however, different from that in molecules such as hydrocarbons. Having used two electrons in bonding to the terminal hydrogen atoms, each boron has one valence electron remaining for additional bonding. The bridging hydrogen atoms provide one electron each. Thus the $B _2H _2$ ring is held together by four electrons, an example of 3-center 2-electron bonding. This type of bond is sometimes called a 'banana bond'.

Hence option B is correct answer.

On hydrolysis diborane produces ?

  1. $H _3BO _2+H _2O _2$

  2. $H _3BO _3+H _2$

  3. $B _2O _3+O _2$

  4. $H _3BO _3+H _2O _2$

$2X+B _2H _6 \rightarrow [BH _2(X _2)]^+[BH _4]^-$
'X' cannot be ?

  1. $NH _3$

  2. $CH _3NH _2$

  3. $(CH) _3) _2NH$

  4. $(CH _3) _3N$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Answer:- (D) ${(C{H} _{3})} _{3}N$
${B} _{2}{H} _{6}$ reacts with primary(1º)  and secondary(2º)  amine and form an ionic compound and gives unsymmetrical cleavage of diborane. However with tertiary(3º) amine, ${B} _{2}{H} _{6}$ shows it's symmetrical cleavage and forms an adduct as:-
${B} _{2}{H} _{6} + 2N{(C{H} _{3})} _{3} \; \longrightarrow \; 2B{H} _{3}.N{(C{H} _{3})} _{3}$

A mixture of boron trichloride and hydrogen is subjected to silent electric discharge to form $'A'$ and $HCl. 'A'$ is miced with $NH _3$ and heated to $200^oC$ to form $'B'$. The formula of $'B'$ is

  1. $H _3BO _3$

  2. $B _2O _3$

  3. $B _2H _6$

  4. $B _3N _3H _6$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$2BCl _3+3H _2\underset {discharge}{\xrightarrow {electric}}\underset {(A)}{B _2H _6}+6HCl$.


$A$  is $B _2H _6$

$3B _2H _6+6NH _3\rightarrow 2B _3H _6N _3 + 12H _2$

So $B$  is $B _3N _3H _6$.

Hence option D is correct

Select the correct statement(s):

  1. The crystal structure of $NaHCO _3$ and $KHCO _3$ both show hydrogen bonding, but are different. In $NaHCO _3$ the $HCO^{-} _{3}$ ions are linked into an infinite chain, while in $KHCO _3$ a dimeric anion is formed.

  2. The $BeX _2$ molecules polymerize to form chains containing bridging halogen groups; for example, in $(BeF _2) _n$ and $(BeCl _2) _n$ each halogen from one normal covalent bond and use a lone pair to form a co-ordinate bond.

  3. $[Be(Me _2) _n]$ has essentially the same structure as $(BeCl _2) _n$ but the bonding in the methyl compound is best regarded as three center two electron bonds covering one $Me$ and $Be$ atoms.

  4. Beryllium salts are acidic when dissolved in pure water because the hydrated ion hydrolyzed producing $H _3O^+$.


Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

(A) Even though both sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate shows hydrogen bonding in the  crystal structure, sodium bicarbonate forms a polymer and potassium bicarbonate forms a dimer.
Hence, the option A is correct.
(B)  Beryllium dihalide is a polymer in which halogen atoms acts as bridges between two Be atoms.
Thus, each halogen atom forms two bonds, one is coordinate and the other is covalent.
Thus, the option B is correct.
(C) The polymeric dimethyl beryllium and the polymeric beryllium dichloride have similar structures involving bridging but in polymeric dimethyl beryllium, each methyl group form bridges with two Be atoms. These bridges are 3 C - 2 e bonds.
Thus, the option C is correct.
(D) Beryllium ion on hydration forms protonium ion. Hence, beryllium salts are acidic.
$Be^{2+} + 2H-OH \rightarrow Be(OH)^+ +H _3O^+$.
Hence, the option D is correct.

Which of the following statements(s) is/are correct?

  1. $B _2H _6$ is non-planar

  2. $B _2H _6$ is polar

  3. $B _2H _6$ is $e^-$ deficient

  4. $B _2H _6$ has two $3C-2e^-$ bond


Correct Option: A,C,D
Explanation:

Diborane is non-planar molecule as each $B$ atom has tetrahedral geometry.It is electron deficient molecule as each $B$ atom has only $6$ valence electrons. It contains two $3C-2e$ bonds.
Thus, all the options are correct.

Select the correct statement(s).

  1. In diborane 12 valence $e^-$ are involved in bonding

  2. In diborane, maximum six atoms, two boron and four terminal hydrogen, lie in the same plane.

  3. Diborane has ethane-like structure

  4. In diborane, bridging bonds are stronger and longer than the terminal bonds.


Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

Diborane is an electron deficient molecule. The two boron atoms and the four terminal hydrogen atoms of the molecule are in the same plane. The bridging hydrogen atoms lie above and below this plane. The four B-H bonds are regular 2-centered 2-electron bonds. The bridging B-H bonds are unusual 3-centered 2-electron bonds. There are 12 valence electrons, out of them 8 are used in four non bridging hydrogen bonds and other 4 are shared in forming 2-centered 2-electron bond. The bridging hydrogen bonds are stronger that means the bridging H-atoms can not be replaced in chemical reactions. The lengths of these bonds are $1.33 A°$ which is longer than that of terminal $H-$bond $1.19A°$. This is because of the electrostatic repulsion felt by the positively charged nuclei of the two hydrogen atoms that form the hydrogen bridge will cause the bond to be bent- referred to as a "banana bond".

Which of the following statements(s) is/are correct?

  1. Dipole moment of diborane is zero

  2. Diborane is lewis acid

  3. Diborane has incomplete octet

  4. Diborane has four $2C-2e^-$ bond


Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

Diborane is the chemical compound consisting of boron and hydrogen with the formula $B _2H _6$.In diborane, boron is $sp^3$ hybridized and each boron is attached to two hydrogens through two centres two-electron bond ($2C-2e^-$ bond) and to another two hydrogens (bridging hydrogen) through three centres two electron bonds ($3C-2e^-$ bond). $BH _3$ (monomer of $B _2H _6$), is an electron-deficient molecule (i.e. the boron is surrounded by only six electrons; not eight). It means $B _2H _6$ is surrounded by $12$ electrons not with $16$ electrons(electron deficient molecule is Lewis acid). And the dipole moment is zero. 

Hence options $A,\ B,\ C$ and $D$ are correct.

$B _2H _6 + NH _3 \rightarrow [BH _2(NH _3) _2]^+[BH _4]^- \rightarrow B _3N _3H _6 (Borazol)$
$B _2H _6 + CH _3NH _2 \rightarrow [BH _2(CH _3NH _2) _2]^+[BH _4]^-$
$B _2H _6 + (CH _3) _2NH \rightarrow [B^-H _3-N^+H(CH _3) _2] \rightarrow [BH _2N(CH _3) _2]$
$B _2H _6 + (CH _3) _3N \rightarrow [(CH _3) _3N^+-B^-H _3]$

$BCl _{3}$ does not exist as a dimer but $BH _{3}$ exists as a dimer because:

  1. chlorine is more electropositive than hydrogen

  2. there is $p\pi -p\pi $ back-bonding in $BCl _{3}$ but $BH _{3}$ does not contain such multiple bonding

  3. large sized chlorine atoms cannot fit in between small sized boron atoms, whereas small sized hydrogen atoms can easily fit in between boron atoms

  4. $B _{2}H _{6}+NH _{3}\xrightarrow[high\, temp]{1moB _{2}H _{6}.2molesNH _{3}}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$B _{2} H _{6} + NH _{3} \xrightarrow [high\, temp]{1moB _{2} H _{6} .2molesNH _{3}} B _{3} N _{3} H _{6} $

When an inorganic compound (X) having $3c-2e$ as well as $2c-2e$ bonds reacts with ammonia gas at a certain temperature, gives a compound (Y) iso-structural with benzene. Compound (X) with ammonia at a high temperature, produces a hard substance (Z). Then :

  1. $(X)$ is $B _{2}H _{6}$

  2. (Z) is known as inorganic graphite

  3. (Z) having structure similar to graphite

  4. (Z) having structure similar to (X)

$3B _{2}H _{6}.2NH _{3}\rightarrow 2B _{3}N _{3}H _{6}+12H _{2}$
$(X)$ is $B _{2}H _{6}$
Hence option A is correct.

The type of hybridisation of boron in diborane is :

  1. $sp$

  2. $sp^2$

  3. $sp^3$

  4. $dsp^2$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Boron has three valence electrons, so it is supposed to make 3 bonds in a molecule with hybridization, $sp^{2}$ as only s and two p orbitals are used in hybridization and last p orbitalis vacant.

But diborane, $B _{2}H _{6}$ contains two electrons each, three centred bonds. Each Boron atom is in a link with four hydrogen atoms. This makes tetrahedral geometry. 

Hence, each Boron atom is $sp^{3}$ - hybridized.

The correct option is C.

$BCl _3$ does not exist as dimer but $BH _3$ exists as dimer $(B_2H_6) because.

  1. Chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen

  2. There is pn-pn back bonding in $BCl _3$ but $BH _3$ does not contain such multiple bonding

  3. large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small boron atoms where as small sized hydrogen atoms get fitted in between boron atoms

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

BCl3 does not exist as dimer but BH3 exists as dimer as dimer B2H6 because,
large sized chlorine atoms do not fit in between the small boron atoms where as small sized hydrogen atoms get fitted in between boron atoms
Because of its instability it exists as a dimer, B2H6, where elextrons are shared between each of the monomers. It is a gas, but is used in chemistry as solutions in THF, pyridine or dimethyl sulfide. In these solutions the lone pair of electrons from the oxyge,, nitrogen or sulfur, are donated to the empty p orbital of boron, stabilising the BH3:solvent complex.

Which among the following is not a borane?

  1. $B _2H _6$

  2. $B _3H _6$

  3. $B _4H _10$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Boranes comprise a large group of the group 13 hydride compounds with the generic formula of $B _xH _y$.
Following are the general formulae of boranes. So $B _3H _6$ is not a borane as it does not hold the formulae of boranes.
Hence option $B$ is correct.

An alkali metal hydride (NaH) react with diborane in 'A' to give a tetrahedral compound 'B' which is extensively used as reducing agent in organic synthesis. The compounds 'A' and 'B' respectively are :

  1. $CH _3COCH _3\,\,\, and \,\,\,B _3N _3H _6$

  2. $(C _2H _5) _2O \,\,\,and\,\,\, NaBH _4$

  3. $C _2H _6\,\,\,and\,\,C _2H _5Na$

  4. $C _6H _6\,\,\,and\,\,\,NaBH _4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Answer:-
When an alkali metal hydride $(NaH)$ react with diborane $({B} _{2}{H} _{6})$ in the presence of ether $({({C} _{2}{H} _{5})} _{2}O)$, a tetrahedral compound (Metal borohydride) is formed which act as a reducing agent in organic synthesis.
$2NaH + {B} _{2}{H} _{6} \; \xrightarrow{{({C} _{2}{H} _{5})} _{2}O} \; \underset{\text{sodium borohydride}}{2NaB{H} _{4}}$
Thus, A is  ${({C} _{2}{H} _{5})} _{2}O$ and B is $NaB{H} _{4}$.

A compound $X$, of boron reacts with $NH _3$ on heating to give another compound $Y$ which is called inorganic benzene. The compound $X$ can be prepared by treating $BF _3$ with lithium aluminum hydride. The compounds $X$ and $Y$ are represented by formula:

  1. $B _2H _6, B _3N _3H _6$

  2. $B _2O _3, B _3N _3H _6$

  3. $BF _3, B _3N _3H _6$

  4. $B _3N _3H _6, B _2H _6$
