In diborane, the number of electrons that account for f bonding in the bridges is-

A

six

B

two

C

eight

D

four

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Two bridging bonds are present in diborane. In the · bridges, each H-atom is bonded to two B-atoms by sharing of only one pair of electrons i.e., 3c-2e bonds. Thus, total number of electrons for two bridges is four.
