The correct Answer is:
To determine the state of hybridization of the central atom in the dimers of BH₃ and BeH₂, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Dimer Formed - **BH₃** dimerizes to form **B₂H₆** (Diborane). - **BeH₂** dimerizes to form **Be₂H₄**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Structure of B₂H₆ - In B₂H₆, the boron atoms are connected by bridging hydrogen atoms. - The structure consists of two boron atoms and six hydrogen atoms, where two hydrogen atoms act as bridges between the two boron atoms. ### Step 3: Count the Sigma Bonds in B₂H₆ - In B₂H₆, there are four B-H sigma bonds (two terminal and two bridging). - The total number of sigma bonds is 4. ### Step 4: Determine Hybridization of Boron in B₂H₆ - The hybridization can be determined using the formula: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \text{Number of sigma bonds} + \text{Lone pairs} \] - Since boron has no lone pairs and forms 4 sigma bonds, the hybridization is: \[ \text{Hybridization} = 4 \rightarrow sp³ \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Structure of Be₂H₄ - In Be₂H₄, beryllium atoms are also connected by hydrogen atoms. - The structure consists of two beryllium atoms and four hydrogen atoms. ### Step 6: Count the Sigma Bonds in Be₂H₄ - In Be₂H₄, there are four Be-H sigma bonds. - The total number of sigma bonds is also 4. ### Step 7: Determine Hybridization of Beryllium in Be₂H₄ - Using the same formula: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \text{Number of sigma bonds} + \text{Lone pairs} \] - Since beryllium also has no lone pairs and forms 4 sigma bonds, the hybridization is: \[ \text{Hybridization} = 4 \rightarrow sp³ \] ### Conclusion - The hybridization of the central atom in the dimer of BH₃ (B₂H₆) is **sp³**. - The hybridization of the central atom in the dimer of BeH₂ (Be₂H₄) is also **sp³**. ### Final Answer The state of hybridization of the central atom in the dimer of BH₃ and BeH₂ is **sp³**. ---
