    Which of the following hydrides is electron deficient molecule?

    A)  NaH                                     

    B)  \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[Ca{{H}_{2}}\]                

    D)  \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Key Idea According to Lewis ?acid is a species that can accept an electron pair to form a coordinate covalent bond.? Thus, an acid is an electron pair acceptor.                 It is an electron deficient species. \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\] is electron deficient molecule. It acts as Lewis acids and can accept electron pairs. These hydrides form adducts with ammonia and other Lewis bases.                 \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}+2M{{e}_{3}}N\xrightarrow{{}}2[M{{e}_{3}}N\,.\,B{{H}_{3}}]\] \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}+2N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{Excess\,\,N{{H}_{3}}}{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}.\,\,2N{{H}_{3}}\] \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}+2{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}O\to B{{H}_{3}}]\] \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}+2{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}S\xrightarrow{{}}2[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}S\to B{{H}_{3}}]\]
