Possible Isomers for Disubstituted Borazine
Explanation:
Borazine, also known as inorganic benzene, is a six membered ring in which three boron atoms are alternated with three nitrogen atoms. Each of the boron and nitrogen atoms is attached with a hydrogen atom. The possible isomers for disubstituted borazine are:
1. Ortho isomer: In this isomer, both the substituents are attached to the adjacent atoms of the borazine ring. This leads to the formation of a chiral molecule with two enantiomers.
2. Meta isomer: In this isomer, both the substituents are attached to the atoms that are separated by one carbon atom in the borazine ring. This also leads to the formation of a chiral molecule with two enantiomers.
3. Para isomer: In this isomer, both the substituents are attached to the atoms that are opposite to each other in the borazine ring. This leads to the formation of a non-chiral molecule.
4. Cis-trans isomer: In this isomer, the two substituents are attached to the borazine ring in such a way that they are either on the same side (cis) or on the opposite side (trans) of the ring. This leads to the formation of a non-chiral molecule.
Hence, the possible isomers for disubstituted borazine are 4.

We can solve it by considering x at different positions of borazine, first case- x is at ortho position and thus one x at N and other x at B . case two- x is at meta position by one x is at N and other X is at N .third case- x at meta position again with one x at B and other x at B also. forth case- x at para position with one x at N and other x at B.
(note-- all positions of x are taken like as ortho , meta etc based on the position of other x)
