| a. | \(B_2H_6 \) is Lewis acid. |
| b. | \(B_2H_6 \) has a planar structure. |
| c. | All B-H Bond lengths are equal in \(B_2H_6 \). |
| d. | In \(B_2H_6,\) four \(3C-2e^- \) bonds are present. |
| e. | \(B_2H_6 \) can be prepared by the reaction of \(BF_3 \) and \(NaBH_4 \). |
| 1. | a, b, c, d, e | 2. | a, e |
| 3. | a, b | 4. | d, e |
The correct statement about B2H6 is:
| 1. | The terminal B–H bonds have less p-character when compared to bridging bonds. |
| 2. | The two B–H–B bonds are not of the same length. |
| 3. | All B–H–B angles are 120°. |
| 4. | Its fragment, BH3, behaves as a Lewis base. |
Diborane () reacts independently with and to produce, respectively:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The structure of diborane (B2H6) contains:
| 1. | four 2C-2e- bonds and four 3C-2e- bonds |
| 2. | two 2C-2e- bonds and two 3C-3e- bonds |
| 3. | two 2C-2e- bonds and four 3C-2e- bonds |
| 4. | four 2C-2e- bonds and two 3C-2e- bonds |
