Boron with hydrogen forms a number of hydrides which are known are boranes. These hydrides are classified into closoboranes and nidobarances. The simplest hydride of boron is diborane. Boron apart from having `(2c, 2e)` bonds also contain `(3c, 2e)` bonds. Three centre two electron `(3c, 2e)` bond is present in :A. `B_(2)H_(6)`B. `B_(2)H_(8)`C. `B_(2)H_(2)`D. `B_(2)H_(7)`

1.	Boron with hydrogen forms a number of hydrides which are known are boranes. These hydrides are classified into closoboranes and nidobarances. The simplest hydride of boron is diborane. Boron apart from having `(2c, 2e)` bonds also contain `(3c, 2e)` bonds. Three centre two electron `(3c, 2e)` bond is present in :A. `B_(2)H_(6)`B. `B_(2)H_(8)`C. `B_(2)H_(2)`D. `B_(2)H_(7)`
Answer» Correct Answer - A Diborane is closoborane with two boron atoms , hence, `B_(2) H_(6)`.
