Which of the following structure is similar to graphite?

  1. B4C
  2. B2H6
  3. BN
  4. B

Answer

(3) BN

Solution

Hexagonal boron nitride, (BN)x, is isoelectronic with graphite (a B–N pair has the same number of electrons as a C–C pair).

It has planar layers of fused hexagonal rings of alternate B and N atoms, stacked one above another like graphite; hence it is called inorganic graphite.

B4C and elemental boron have three-dimensional icosahedral network structures, and B2H6 is a molecular hydride.
