Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

Small amines such as ${\mathrm{NH}}_3\cdot {\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{NH}}_2$ and ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2\mathrm{NH}$ give unsymmetrical cleavage of diborane according to following reaction, $$\begin{array}{rl}& {\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6+2{\mathrm{NH}}_3⟶\\ & {\left[{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{B}{\left({\mathrm{NH}}_3\right)}_2\right]}^{+}{\left[{\mathrm{BH}}_4\right]}^{-}\\ & \end{array}$$ Large amines, such as ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_3\mathrm{N}$ give symmetrical cleavage of diborane.
