The reaction of diborane in diethylether with $\underline{X}$ gives metalborohydride. $\mathrm{X}$ is a

  • A
    Metal
  • B
    Metal halide
  • Correct answer
    C
    Metal hydride
  • D
    Metal oxide

Solution

$\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{LiH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{LiBH}_4$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{X}$ should be metal hydride.
