Question

Name a molecule having banana bond?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

As they are two hydrogen atoms bonded to two boron atoms from both ways.. These hydrogen atoms are called as Bridge hydrogen. The other 4 hydrogen atoms bonded are called as Terminal hydrogen. Thus this is how Diborane exhibit banana bonds or Tau bonds.

Answer 2

Some of the molecules having banana bonds are $B_{2} H_{6}$ , $C_{3}H_{6}$ etc.

• Banana bonds are a kind of covalent bond whose structure resembles that of a banana.
• It is also called a bent bond.
• It is the general representation of the electron density of the bent structure inside the small ring molecules that are simpler representations of double or triple bonds.
• These compounds don't use sigma or pi bonds but rather use double bonds and triple bonds.
• In bent bonds the hybridization state of the atoms that make the chemical bonds are increased or decreased orbital characters to accommodate the orbital energy of the bond itself.
