Number of electron deficient molecules among the following
PH3, B2H6, CCl4, NH3, LiH and BCl3 is
Solution
Electron deficient species have less than 8 electrons (or two electrons for $\mathrm{H}$ ) in their valence (incomplete octet).<br/><br/>
$\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}, \mathrm{BCl}_{3}$ have incomplete octet.
