Answer:
Boron has three valence electrons, so it is supposed to make 3 bonds in a molecule with hybridization, sp2 as only s and two p orbitals are used in hybridization and last p orbitals vacant. But diborane, B2H6 contains two electrons each, three centred bonds. ... Hence, each Boron atom is sp3 - hybridized
Diborane has a three centred electron Bond

Answer:
The molecule has a total of 12 valence electrons, 3 from each boron atom and 1 from each hydrogen atom. In this molecule, each of the two boron atoms will be bonded to two hydrogen atoms via covalent bonds. ... Thus hybridisation of boron in diborane is sp3.
