Question

Borazine ($B_3N_3H_6$) is commonly known as "inorganic benzene". How does its chemical reactivity compare to that of organic benzene ($C_6H_6$)?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

While borazine is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene, the difference in electronegativity between B and N makes the B-N bonds polar. This makes borazine much more reactive towards addition reactions than the non-polar benzene ring.
