Each bridge bond is formed by overlapping of one "B"sphybrid orbital with one electron, hydrogen s-orbital with one electron and another boron sp3 hybrid orbital without electron .That is the bridge head bond is a electron deficient three centre two electron bond .

The number of atoms involved in bridged bonds in one diborane molecule is four.
