The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding borazine, \( B_3N_3H_6 \), we need to evaluate the three statements provided and determine which ones are correct. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement (i) **Statement (i): Borazene is aromatic.** - **Analysis**: To determine if borazine is aromatic, we need to check if it meets the criteria for aromaticity: - It must be cyclic. - It must be planar. - It must have a continuous overlap of p-orbitals (conjugated system). - It must follow Huckel's rule, which states that the compound must have \( 4n + 2 \) π electrons, where \( n \) is a non-negative integer. - **Structure of Borazine**: The structure of borazine consists of alternating boron (B) and nitrogen (N) atoms in a cyclic arrangement, with hydrogen atoms attached. The molecule has 6 π electrons (from the alternating double bonds), which satisfies Huckel's rule. - **Conclusion**: Borazine is indeed aromatic. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement (ii) **Statement (ii): There are four isomers of bisubstituted molecules of borazine, \( B_3N_3H_4X_2 \).** - **Analysis**: To find the isomers, we consider the positions where the substituents (X) can be placed on the borazine structure. The possible positions for substitution are: - 1,2 (ortho) - 1,3 (meta) - 1,4 (para) - **Isomer Structures**: 1. **1,2-isomer**: Substituents on adjacent boron and nitrogen. 2. **1,3-isomer**: Substituents on alternating boron and nitrogen. 3. **1,3-isomer (another form)**: Substituents on different nitrogen atoms. 4. **1,4-isomer**: Substituents on opposite sides of the ring. - **Conclusion**: There are indeed four isomers of bisubstituted borazine. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement (iii) **Statement (iii): Borazine is more reactive towards addition reactions than benzene.** - **Analysis**: Benzene is known for its stability due to aromaticity, which makes it less reactive in addition reactions. In contrast, borazine has a polar structure due to the electronegativity difference between boron and nitrogen, making it more reactive as it can act as a nucleophile. - **Conclusion**: Borazine is more reactive towards addition reactions than benzene. ### Final Conclusion All three statements about borazine are correct: 1. Borazine is aromatic. 2. There are four isomers of bisubstituted borazine. 3. Borazine is more reactive towards addition reactions than benzene. ### Answer: All statements (i), (ii), and (iii) are correct. ---
