Q. In diborane the two $H - B - H$ angles are nearly
A) $60{^\circ},\ 120{^\circ}$
B) $95{^\circ},\ 120{^\circ}$
C) $95{^\circ},\ 150{^\circ}$
D) $120{^\circ},\ 180{^\circ}$
Explanation
(b)
In diborane, $H - B - H$ (H-terminal) and $H - B - H$(H-bridged) bond angles are $120{^\circ}$ and $97{^\circ}$ respectively.
