Question

why is inorganic benzene more reactive than organic benzene even though both are non-polar?

Answer 1

Borazole is called as inorganic benzene. It is isostructural to benzene and involves EAS reaction similar to benzene. Borazole is more reactive than benzene towards EAS reaction. Borazine is a highly polar molecule due to high Electronegativity difference between Boron and Nitrogen. The pi bonds in borazine are highly polarized than pi bonds in benzene. Thus borazine is more nucleophillic hence more reactive than benzene.
