Solved: Other nonmetals form compounds that are structurally analogous to those of

Chapter 15, Problem 15.117

(choose chapter or problem)

Other nonmetals form compounds that are structurally analogous to those of carbon, but these inorganic compounds are usually more reactive. Predict any missing products and write balanced equations for each reaction: (a) the decomposition and chlorination of diborane to boron trichloride; (b) the combustion of pentaborane (B5H9) in O2; (c) the addition of water to bor-azines double bonds (B3N3H6, Figure 14.9B, p. 583) (Hint: The OH group bonds to B); (d) the hydrolysis of trisilane (Si3H8) to silica (SiO2) and H2; (e) the complete halogenation of disilane with Cl2; (f) the thermal decomposition of H2S5 to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur molecules; (g) the hydrolysis of PCl5.
