Explain the structures of diborane and boric acid.

(a) Diborane

is a compound that does not have an electron. just has 12 electrons of molecules and of iotas each. So none of the boron molecules has any electrons left subsequent to being blended in with particles. -beam diffraction studies showed the diborane structure as:

Two boron and four-terminal molecules of hydrogen lie one way, while the other two connecting particles of hydrogen are in the surface opposite to the plane of boron iotas. Once, of the two molecules of hydrogen spanning, one particle of lies over the plane, and the other beneath the plane. The terminal bonds are standard twocentre two-electron bonds, while the two bridgings bonds are three-focus two-electron (3c bonds.

(b) Boric corrosive

Boric corrosive is organized in a layered structure. Each planar unit is associated by molecules to one another. The molecules structure a covalent bond with a unit while another unit frames a hydrogen bond. The dabbed lines, in the given figure, address hydrogen bonds.
