The terminal B-H bonds are normal 2-centre-2- electron bonds but the two bridge bonds are 3-centre-2-electron bonds. The 3-centre-2-electron bridge bonds are also referred to as banana bonds.

Question Image

Each B atom undergoes sp3 hybridization and overlaps the s-orbital of H-atom to form B-H bond.

Diborane contains two coplanar BH2 groups. Diborane has four terminal hydrogen atoms and the two boron atoms lie in one plane. Above and below this plane, there are two bridge hydrogen atoms. The bridge hydrogen atoms are present in a plane perpendicular to rest of the molecule.
