A

`60^(@), 120^(@)`

B

`95^(@), 120^(@)`

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Dilthey in 1921 proposed a bridge struct for diborane. Four hydrogen atoms, two on the left and two on the right, known as terminal hydrogens and two boron atoms lie in the same plane. Two hydrogen atoms forming bridges, one above and other below, lie in a plane perpendicular to the rest of molecule.

In diborane, the two boron atoms are linked together by two ............ bonds.

A : In Diborane containing eight -B-H bonds only four B-H bonds are on the plane . R : Boron in B_(2) H_(6) is sp^(2) hybridised .

Assertion : In diborane, each B atom is sp^(2) hybridised. Reason : In diborane, the terminal 2-centre-2-electron B-H bonds are called banana bonds.

What is the value of H-C-H bond angle in ethylene?

Assertion (A): Though the central atom of both NH_(3) and H_(2)O molecules are sp^(3) hybridised, yet H-N-H bond angle is greater thant that of H-O-H. Reason(R): This is because nitrogen atom has one lone pair and oxygen atom has two lone pairs.
