Solution
The correct option is C Both are correct
(a) Diborane is a lewis acid it forms an addition product B2H6.2NH3 on reaction with NH3 which is ionic and it exsists as: [BH2(NH3)2]+ and [BH4]− ions.
(b) On heating, it gets converted into Borazine which is also known as inorganic benzene. B2H6.2NH3200oC−−−→2B3N3H6+12H2
