    Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?                       [AIPMT (S) 2005]

    A)  \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]         

    B)       \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C) \[P{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[Si{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\] is electron deficient molecule because boron atom has three half-filled orbitals in excited state. The structure of \[{{B}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\] is represented as follows:
               
                In it two electrons of a \[B-H\] bond are involved in formation of three centre bond, these bonds are represented as dotted lines.
