Q. Find out number of $p$-orbitals of boron atom which participate in hybridisation in $B_{2}H_{6}$ (number of $p$-orbitals taking part in hybridisation per atom of boron).

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

In diborane $(B_{2}H_{6})$ due to banana bonding all $3-p-$orbitals of every boron atom take part in hybridisation.
