Crystalline form of borax is Na 2 B 4 O 7 ⋅ 10 H 2 O or Na 2[ B 4 O 5( OH )4] .8 H 2 O its structure is,

Q. The crystalline form of borax has

tetranuclear $[B_{4} O_{5} (O H)_{4}]^{2 -}$ unit

all boron atoms in the same plane

equal number of $s p^{2}$ and $s p^{3}$ hybridized boron atoms

one terminal hydroxide per boron atom

Crystalline form of borax is $N a_{2} B_{4} O_{7} \cdot 10 H_{2} O$ or $N a_{2} [B_{4} O_{5} (O H)_{4}] .8 H_{2} O$ its structure is,
