Reference no: EM13288621

When diborane (B2H6) dissociates in either solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), a complex between borane (BH3) and the ether is formed.

(a) In the Lewis sense, what is the function of BH3 as it forms the complex? Explain.

(b) Write the Lewis structure for BH3. Diagram its expected structure indicating the bond angles in the molecule.
