MCQ
The structure of diborane contains:
  • Four $2C-2e$ bonds and two $3C-2e$ bonds
  • B
    Two $2C-2e$ bonds and two $3C-2e$ bonds
  • C
    Two $2C-2e$ bonds and two $3C-3e$ bonds
  • D
    Four $2C-2e$ bonds and two $3C-3e$ bonds

Answer

Correct option: A.
Four $2C-2e$ bonds and two $3C-2e$ bonds
a
This is the structure of $B _2 H _6$

Four hydrogen are connected to $B$ atoms by covalent bonds. So there are four $2$ centered$- 2$ electron bonds

$2$ hydrogen atoms are connected by bridge and it is connected to $2$ boron atoms . So, there are $3$ -centred-$2$- electron bonds

$( H - B ) \rightarrow 2\quad C -2 e$ bonds

$(B-H-B) \rightarrow 3\quad C-2e$ bonds
