Question

The inorganic benzene and benzene can be distinguished by

Answer 1

Answer:

The largest and most extensively studied family of boron–nitrogen compounds is that of the borazines, characterized by a six‐membered ring system containing alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. Because borazine is isoelectronic and isostructural with benzene, it has been called inorganic benzene.

Explanation:

Borazine is also known as inorganic benzene. It is made up of 3 each boron and nitrogen atoms bonded with each other. While benzene is comprised of 6 carbon atoms. Borazine is called inorganic benzene because size of boron and nitrogen atoms resembles with that of carbon atoms . Also both rings have aromaticity i.e. have paramagnetic ring current. But the difference arises in polarity. Benzene is non-polar while borazine is polar. Benzene does not react with HCl while borazine does. It forms an adduct with HCl via co-ordinate bonding.

Answer 2

Answer:

While benzene is comprised of 6 carbon atoms. Borazine is called inorganic benzene because size of boron and nitrogen atoms resembles with that of carbon atoms . Also both rings have aromaticity i.e. have paramagnetic ring current. But the difference arises in polarity.
