Question

Which of the following specie(s) has/have a tetrahedral structure?
  1. B2H6 (around each boron atom)
  2. B3N3H6
  3. BH4
  4. AlCl4

A
B2H6 (around each boron atom)
B
B3N3H6
C
BH4
D
AlCl4
Solution
Verified by Toppr

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
