The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "The members of BnHn+4 series are less stable than BnHn+6 series" is true or false, we can analyze the stability of these two series of boron hydrides (boranes). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Boranes**: - Boranes are hydrides of boron, represented by the general formulas BnHn+4 and BnHn+6. - They are known to be electron-deficient compounds. 2. **Identifying the Series**: - The series BnHn+4 includes compounds like B2H6 (diborane), which is known to be relatively stable. - The series BnHn+6 includes compounds that are generally more stable than those in the BnHn+4 series. 3. **Stability Comparison**: - The BnHn+4 series is characterized by having fewer hydrogen atoms relative to boron atoms, leading to a higher degree of electron deficiency. - The BnHn+6 series has more hydrogen atoms, which helps to stabilize the structure due to better electron pairing. 4. **Existence of Compounds**: - Members of the BnHn+4 series are often less stable and may not exist theoretically or are less commonly encountered. - In contrast, members of the BnHn+6 series, such as diborane (B2H6), are well-studied and have practical applications. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the statement that "the members of BnHn+4 series are less stable than BnHn+6 series" is **false**. The BnHn+6 series is more stable than the BnHn+4 series. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**.
