According to the given figure, which of the following statements is incorrect?

- A The 2 bridged hydrogen atoms and 2 boron atoms lie in one plane.
- B Out of \(6 \mathrm{~B}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds two bonds can be described in terms of 3 centre 2-electron bonds.
- C Out of \(6 \mathrm{~B}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds four bonds can be described in terms of 3 centre 2-electron bonds.
- D The four terminal \(\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds are 2 centre 2 electron regular bonds.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Out of \(6 \mathrm{~B}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds four bonds can be described in terms of 3 centre 2-electron bonds.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In \(\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\) there is only 2 hydrogen, which are 3 centered 2 electron bond, thus statement (3) is incorrect.
