Detailed Solution

Boron contains three valence electrons, thus when it undergoes hybridization, it should form three bonds in a molecule (sp2) since only the s and p orbitals are utilised, and the final p orbital is left empty.

However, the diborane,B2H6 , has three centred bonds and two electrons per bond. Four hydrogen atoms form a connection with each boron atom. Tetrahedral geometry results from this.

Thus, each boron atom has undergone sp3 hybridization.
