Question

Borazine ($B_3N_3H_6$) is commonly known as "inorganic benzene". Which of the following statements correctly compares borazine and benzene?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Borazine is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene. However, due to the difference in electronegativity between Boron and Nitrogen, the B-N bonds are polar. This polarity makes borazine significantly more reactive towards addition reactions than the non-polar benzene ring.
