Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Dilthey in 1921 proposed a bridge structure for diborane. Four hydrogen atoms, two on the left and two on the right. Known as terminal hydrogen and two boron atoms lie in the same plane. Two hydrogen atoms forming bridges, one above and other below, lie in a plane perpendicular to the rest of molecule.
