Question

Which of the following in correct statement?

Options:

(a) B2H6 is Lewis Acid

(b) All the B-H bonds in B2H6 are equal

(c) B2H6 has planar structure

(d) Maximum no. of hydrogen in one plane is six

Answer 1

Correct option is A)  B2H6 is Lewis Acid 

The four terminal hydrogen atoms and the two boron atoms lie in one plane. Above and below this plane, there are two bridging hydrogen atoms. The four terminal B-H bonds are regular two centre-two electron bonds while the two bridge (B-H-B) bonds are different and can be described in terms of three
