Question

Why is SICL4 electron deficient?

Answer 1

BCl3 is electron deficientcompound because boron has only 6 valence electron and is short of 2 electrons. Therefore it can accept a pair of electronsfrom nucleophiles. SiCl4 is notelectron deficient compound because silicon has 8 valenceelectrons.

Answer 2

Here is ur answer

BCl3 is electron deficient compound because boron has only 6 valenceelectron and is short of 2 electrons. ...SiCl4 is not electron deficientcompound because silicon has 8 valence electrons
