explain answer please​

Answer 1

Answer:

All are borane

Explanation:

Answer 2

$B_5H_{11}$ is not a borane.

• Borane is a compound made of boron or B and hydrogen or H.
• The general formula of borane is $B_xH_{y}$. Where x is not equal to y.
• In the case of $B_5H_{10}$ the number of hydrogen is double the number of boron which is not possible in borane. Hence this is not a borane.
• Hence the correct option is 6.
