Question

Borazine ($B_3N_3H_6$) is often referred to as "inorganic benzene". Which of the following statements comparing borazine to benzene are correct?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A,B,D. Borazine is isoelectronic (same number of electrons) and isostructural (planar hexagonal ring) with benzene. However, the B-N bonds in borazine are polar due to electronegativity differences, making it significantly more reactive than benzene.
