Explanation
$$ \left (BH_{3} \right )$$ is the chemical formula for the Boron atom. It is surrounded by 6 electrons, so it is electron deficient due to its incomplete octet. B-atom in diborane is $$sp^{3}$$ hybridized. $$B_{2}H_{6}$$ molecule has a total of 8 covalent bonds but only 12 electrons i.e. 6 pairs. So, it has two electron pairs less than the maximum required number for bonding, which makes it electron deficient.
The answer is option D.
Explanation:
Part: 1
Part: 2 Structure:
Final answer:
Therefore, the correct answer is option $$A$$, as there is a total of four H-bonds formed.
