. Benzene can be called a trimer of ethyne.Can you rememberexamples of an inorganic dimer and a trimer?

• . Benzene can be called a trimer of ethyne.Can you rememberexamples of an inorganic dimer and a trimer of ethanol.Explain why any molecule exists as dimer or trimer?

• Answer:

  'Upon melting AlCl3 gives the dimer Al2Cl6, " BeCl2-"In the gas phase, it exists both as a linear monomer and a bridged dimer with two bridging chlorine atoms where the beryllium atom is 3-coordinate" trimer is a reaction product of three identical molecules. dimer is a reaction product of two identical molecules. the molecules will retain their basic structurasl configuration in the product, in trimerisation or dimerisation, 3 or two molecules simply join together to form a new molecule which is a triple or double of original molecule. I dont remember abt inorganic trimers, but BeCl2 and AlCl3 are inorgainc compunds, which can dimerise suggestion: also read about boranes.
