The correct statement(s) regarding diborane `(B_(2)H_(6))` is/are:

Options

A. Maximum six hydrogenn atoms can lie in a plane
B. Maximum six atoms cann lie in a plane
C. Bridging `H_(b)-B` bond is stronger than terminal B-`H_(t)` bond
D. Terminal `H_(t) -B-H_(t)` bond angle is greater than bridging `H_(b)-B-H_(b)` bond angle

Answer

B, D

Explanation

(a) Maximum Cl-H atom can lie in a plane.
(b) Maximum 6-atom can lie in a plane `(H_(t),H_(t),B,H_(t),H_(t),B)`
(c) Bond strength `(B---H_(b)---B)gt(B_H_(t))`
(d) `(H_(t)-B-H_(t))gt(H_(b)---B---H_(b))`
