In B3N3H6, the B and N are sp2 hybridised. Therefore, it has a triangular structure.
But in all other molecules, central atom-like Al and B are sp3 hybridised and have a tetrahedral structure.

Borax is actually made of two tetrahedral and two triangular units joined together and should be written as : Na2[B4O5(OH)4].8H2O. Consider the following statements about borax: 1. Each boron atom has four B-O bonds 2. EAch boron atom has three B-O bonds 3. Two boron atoms have four B-O bonds while other two have three B-O bonds 4. Each boron atom has one-OH groups Select correct statement(s) -
