Question

Is inorganic benzene reactive than Benzene?

(a) Yes

(b) No

(c) Maybe

(d) Cannot say

I had been asked this question in an international level competition.

This intriguing question comes from p-Block Elements topic in portion p-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) Yes

Best explanation: Yes, inorganic benzene is more reactive than Benzene. The formula for inorganic benzene is given by B3N3H6 and it is otherwise known as borazine or borazole. The pair of electrons and borazine are only partially localized, therefore we can say that it is more reactive than Benzene.
