The type of hybridization of boron in dibirane is -
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In diborane (B₂H₆), boron forms 4 bonds, but two of them are 3-center-2-electron (banana) bonds.
Each boron is attached to two terminal H atoms and shares two bridging H atoms.
Geometry around boron is trigonal planar → requires sp² hybridization.
Therefore, the type of hybridization of boron in diborane is sp².
