The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, let's analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** `B2H6` on heating with excess of ammonia forms boron nitride. 1. **Identify the compound:** `B2H6` is known as diborane. 2. **Reaction with ammonia:** When diborane is heated with ammonia, it reacts to form boron nitride (BN) and hydrogen gas (H2). 3. **Balanced equation:** The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: \[ B2H6 + 2NH3 \rightarrow 2BN + 6H2 \] 4. **Conclusion:** Since the reaction does occur as stated, **Statement 1 is true.** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** `B2H6` contains three-center two-electron pair bonds. 1. **Understanding the structure of `B2H6`:** Diborane has a unique structure where two boron atoms are bonded to each other and to hydrogen atoms. 2. **Valence electrons:** Each boron atom has three valence electrons, and each hydrogen atom has one. 3. **Bonding in diborane:** In diborane, there are four hydrogen atoms that form bonds with the two boron atoms. The bonding involves: - Two boron atoms share two electrons with two hydrogen atoms, forming standard two-center two-electron bonds. - The remaining two hydrogen atoms are involved in three-center two-electron bonds, where two boron atoms and one hydrogen atom share two electrons. 4. **Naming the bond:** These three-center two-electron bonds are also referred to as "banana bonds." 5. **Conclusion:** Since `B2H6` indeed contains three-center two-electron bonds, **Statement 2 is true.** ### Step 3: Determine the relationship between the statements 1. **Both statements are true:** We have established that both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true. 2. **Explanation relationship:** However, Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1. The formation of boron nitride from diborane does not depend on the presence of three-center two-electron bonds. ### Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Statement 1 is true.** - **Statement 2 is true.** - **Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.** Thus, the correct option is **Option B:** Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
