Given below are the statements about diborane
(a) Diborane is prepared by the oxidation of `NaBH_(4)` with `I_(2)`
(b) Each boron atom is in `sp^(2)` hybridized state
(c ) Diborane has one bridged 3 centre-2-electron bond
(d) Diborane is a planar molecule
The option with correct statement(s) is-

A

(C) only

B

(A) and (B) only

C

(C) and (D) only

D

(A) only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Diborane is prepared by the reaction of `NaBH_4` with `I_2`.
`2NaBH_4 + I_2 to B_2 H_6 + 2Nal + H_2 `
In diborane, .B. is `sp^3` hybrid, it is non-planar and two 3c - `2e^(-)` bonds are present.
