The binary compounds of boron with hydrogen are called Boron hydrides. These hydrides of boron are called boranes.These hydrides can be divided into several series: 1)BnHn+4 (called nido borane) such as B2H6 (diborane), B5H9 (pentaborane) , B6H10 (hexaborane) , B8H12 (octaborane) , B10H14 (decaborane). 2)BnHn+6 (called arachno borane) such as B4H10 (tetraborane) , B5H9 (pentaborane), B6H10 (hexaborane), B8H14 ( octaborane), B9H15 ( […]
