Which of the following hydrides is electron-precise hydride? (i) B2H6 (ii) NH3 (iii) H2O (iv) CH4
Which of the following hydrides is electron-precise hydride? (i) B2H6 (ii) NH3 (iii) H2O (iv) CH4

Solution:

Option (iv) is the answer.

The hydrides indicate an anion form of hydrogen atoms. 
To be electron-precise, an atom must have the same number of electrons as required to establish conventional covalent bond. 
In other words, diborane contains three valence electrons and forms four covalent bonds.
