Which of the following is the electron deficient molecule?

  • PH3

  • SiH4

  • C2H6

  • B2H6


D.

B2H6

In B2H6 each B-atom used sp3 -hybrid orbitals for bonding. Out of four sp3 -hybrid orbitals, one orbital is empty. Here, one half-filled orbital of other B-atom overlaps with one empty orbital of other B-atom and half-filled orbitals of hydrogen atom resulting in 3 centred two electron bridge bonds.

Thus, these bonds are electron deficient.
