Question

Given below are the statements about diborane
(A) Diborane is prepared by the oxidation of

N a B H_{4}

with

I_{2}

(B) Each boron atom is in

s p^{2}

hybridized state
(C) Diborane has one bridged 3 centre-2-electron bond
(D) Diborane is a planar molecule
The option with correct statement(s) is -

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (b) Diborane is prepared by the reaction of N a B H_4with I_2. 2 N a B H_4+I_2→B_2H_6+2 N a I+H_2 In diborane, 'B' is sp^3 hybrid, it is Non-planar and two 3 c−2 e^−bonds are present.
