The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about \( B_2H_6 \) and its adduct with ammonia, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Structure of \( B_2H_6 \) 1. **Understanding \( B_2H_6 \)**: - \( B_2H_6 \) is known as diborane. - Each boron atom has three valence electrons. 2. **Hybridization**: - Boron undergoes \( sp^3 \) hybridization. - In \( B_2H_6 \), there are four normal covalent bonds (two B-H bonds for each boron atom) and two special bonds called "banana bonds" or "three-center two-electron bonds" formed with hydrogen atoms. 3. **Conclusion**: - There are no direct \( B-B \) bonds in the structure of \( B_2H_6 \) because the boron atoms are connected through hydrogen atoms. ### Step 2: Verify the First Statement - **First Statement**: "In \( B_2H_6 \), there is no \( B-B \) bond." - **Verification**: This statement is true as the boron atoms are linked through hydrogen atoms, forming bridging bonds. ### Step 3: Analyze the Reaction of \( B_2H_6 \) with Ammonia 1. **Formation of the Adduct**: - When \( B_2H_6 \) reacts with ammonia (\( NH_3 \)), it forms an adduct \( B_2H_6 \cdot 2NH_3 \). 2. **Heating the Adduct**: - Upon heating the adduct, a decomposition reaction occurs. - The reaction produces borazine (\( B_3N_3H_6 \)) and hydrogen gas (\( H_2 \)). 3. **Structure of Borazine**: - Borazine is often referred to as inorganic benzene due to its structural similarity to benzene. ### Step 4: Verify the Second Statement - **Second Statement**: "\( B_2H_6 \cdot 2NH_3 \) adduct on heating gives borazine." - **Verification**: This statement is also true as the heating of the adduct leads to the formation of borazine. ### Final Conclusion Both statements provided in the question are correct: 1. There is no \( B-B \) bond in \( B_2H_6 \). 2. The adduct \( B_2H_6 \cdot 2NH_3 \) on heating gives borazine. ---
