Post by: divijnanda on Feb 9, 2018
Both LiAlH4 and NaBH4 are reducing agents. Which statement about these reagents is true?
 
  A. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is greater than the polarity of the
  Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the stronger reducing agent.
  B. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is greater than the polarity of the
  Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the weaker reducing agent.
  C. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is less than the polarity of the
  Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the stronger reducing agent.
  D. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is less than the polarity of the
  Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the weaker reducing agent.
