Which of the following statements is correct? (i) Elements of group 15 form electron deficient hydrides. (ii) All elements of group 14 form electron precise hydrides. (iii) Electron precise hydrides have tetrahedral geometries. (iv) Electron rich hydrides can act as Lewis acids.

Solution:

Option (ii) and (iii) are the answers.

Inorganic electron-specific hydrides are those hydrides in which the exact quantity of electrons required to form a typical covalent bond is present. All of the elements in group 14 combine to generate compounds (for example, methane) that are tetrahedral in shape.
