| 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 |
| Assertion A : | Boric acid is a weak acid |
| Reason R : | Boric acid is not able to release \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion on its own. It receives \(\mathrm{OH^-}\) ion from water and releases \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion. |
| 1. | Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. |
| 2. | Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A |
| 3. | A is correct but R is not correct |
| 4. | A is not correct but R is correct |
| Assertion (A): | Boron is unable to form \(\mathrm{BF}_6^{3-}\). |
| Reason (R): | The size of B is very small. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
