In diborane (B(2)H(6)), the bond formed ...

In diborane `(B_(2)H_(6))`, the bond formed between B and B is called :

A

sigma bond

B

2-centre 2-electron bond

C

banana bond

D

coordinate bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In diborane (B2H6), one electron pair is shared between three atoms (B – H – B). Therefore, it is called 3-centre -2 electrons bond (3c 2e) or banana bond.
