Correct answer: A, B, C

  1. We need to check which given boron compounds react with ammonia to form boron nitride, BN\mathrm{BN}BN.

  2. Recall some standard reactions of ammonia with boron compounds:

    • Elemental boron reacts with ammonia on heating: 2B+2NH3→2BN+3H22\mathrm{B} + 2\mathrm{NH_3} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{BN} + 3\mathrm{H_2}2B+2NH3​→2BN+3H2​ So, A is correct.
  3. Check B2H6\mathrm{B_2H_6}B2​H6​:

    Diborane reacts with ammonia first to form an addition compound, which on heating gives borazine / related intermediates, and finally boron nitride is obtained on strong heating. Overall, diborane can give boron nitride with ammonia.

    A simplified overall reaction is: B2H6+2NH3→2BN+6H2\mathrm{B_2H_6} + 2\mathrm{NH_3} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{BN} + 6\mathrm{H_2}B2​H6​+2NH3​→2BN+6H2​ Hence, B is correct.

  4. Check B2O3\mathrm{B_2O_3}B2​O3​:

    Boric oxide reacts with ammonia at high temperature to form boron nitride: B2O3+2NH3→2BN+3H2O\mathrm{B_2O_3} + 2\mathrm{NH_3} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{BN} + 3\mathrm{H_2O}B2​O3​+2NH3​→2BN+3H2​O So, C is correct.

  5. Check HBF4\mathrm{HBF_4}HBF4​:

    HBF4\mathrm{HBF_4}HBF4​ contains the tetrafluoroborate ion, BF4−\mathrm{BF_4^-}BF4−​. In presence of ammonia, it does not give boron nitride directly because the very stable B−F\mathrm{B-F}B−F bonds resist conversion to BN\mathrm{BN}BN. Instead, acid-base reaction with ammonia would dominate.

    Therefore, D is incorrect.

  6. Hence the compounds that react with NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​ to give BN\mathrm{BN}BN are: A, B, C\boxed{\mathrm{A,\ B,\ C}}A, B, C​

  7. Comparison with stored correct answer:

    Stored correct answer = A, B, C

    Our derived answer = A, B, C

    So, the answers agree.
