Concept: This question is based on Halogen Exchange Reaction (Finkelstein reaction).
Solution:
In the Finkelstein reaction, an alkyl chloride or alkyl bromide is treated with sodium iodide
(NaI) in dry acetone. Iodide ion replaces Cl– or Br– via an SN2 mechanism, and the reaction
proceeds forward because NaCl or NaBr precipitates out of acetone.

General reaction:
R–Cl / R–Br + NaI (acetone) → R–I + NaCl / NaBr ↓

Hence, the correct answer is Finkelstein reaction.

43) Question Explanation: Identify the incorrect statement regarding the bonding and
reactivity of diborane (B2H6).
Concept: Boron is a second-period element without d-orbitals.

Solution:
We evaluate each statement:
1. It reacts with electron rich molecules: Correct. is an electron-deficient molecule and a
Lewis acid, so it readily forms adducts and reacts with electron-rich molecules (Lewis bases)
like NH3 or H2O. 2. Boron uses all its valence shell orbitals for bonding: Correct. In B2H6, each
boron atom undergoes sp3 hybridization and uses all four hybrid orbitals (one vacant) to form
four bonds (two terminal 2c - 2e bonds and two bridging 3c - 2e bonds). 3. When B2H6 reacts
with Lewis base, boron accepts electron pair into its vacant d-orbital: Incorrect. Boron is a
second-period element and does not possess any d-orbitals in its valence shell. It accepts
electron pairs into its vacant p-orbital or hybrid orbital.
4. is electron deficient molecule: Correct. The molecule has only 12 valence electrons,
which are insufficient to form 8 conventional 2 -center 2 -electron bonds. It uses 3-center 2-
electron bonds and is commonly classified as electron-deficient.

(3) Bond strength → F2 > CI2 > Br2 > I2 → wrong correct order is → CI2 > Br2 > F2 > I2
(4) BP → He < Ne < Ar < Kr < Xe noble gases BP increases down the group due to strong
dispersion forces.
