Identify the correct statement for B _ 2 H _ 6 from those given...

Identify the correct statement for B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6} from those given below.

(A) In B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6}, all B−HB - H bonds are equivalent.

(B) In B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6}, there are four 33-centre- 22-electron bonds.

(C) B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6} is a Lewis acid.

(D) B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6} can be synthesized from both BF3{BF}_{3} and NaBH4{NaBH}_{4}.

(E) B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6} is a planar molecule.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Identify the correct statement for B _ 2 H _ 6 from those given below. (A) In B _ 2 H _ 6 , all B - H bonds are

Options

  1. A(A)\left(A\right) and (E)\left(E\right) only
  2. B(B),\left(B\right),\left(C\right)and(E)and \left(E\right) only
  3. C(C)\left(C\right) and (D)\left(D\right) only
  4. D(C)\left(C\right) and (E)\left(E\right) only

Correct answer

C. (C)\left(C\right) and (D)\left(D\right) only

Step-by-step solution

Identify the correct statement for B _ 2 H _ 6 from those given below. (A) In B _ 2 H _ 6 , all B - H bonds are

B2H6{B}_{2}{H}_{6} have four2c−2efour2c - 2e bonds and two3c−2etwo3c - 2e bonds. Bridging bonds have larger bond length than terminal bonds. Angle between terminal bonds is more than angle between bridging bonds if all 44 terminal bonds are in one plane then bridging bonds are in perpendicular plane.

Therefore we can say that only statement (C) and (D) are correct.
