1.16 Both LiAIH4and NaBH4are 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 AI-H bond, so LiAIH4is 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 AI-H bond, so LiAIH4is 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 AI-H bond, so LiAIH4is 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 AI-H bond, so LiAIH4is the weaker reducing agent.
