The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Diborane \( (\text{B}_2\text{H}_6) \) reacts with metal hydrides in diethyl ether to give metal borohydrides.
Example: \[ \text{B}_2\text{H}_6 + 2\text{LiH} \rightarrow 2\text{LiBH}_4 \] So, X must be a metal hydride such as \( \text{LiH}, \text{NaH} \), etc.
Example: \[ \text{B}_2\text{H}_6 + 2\text{LiH} \rightarrow 2\text{LiBH}_4 \] So, X must be a metal hydride such as \( \text{LiH}, \text{NaH} \), etc.

Top Questions on Hydrides
- Identify the hydride which is not correctly matched with the example given in brackets.
- Which of the following reactions give $\mathrm{H_2}$ as one of the products? (Reactions are not balanced.)
- $\mathrm{NaBH_4 + I_2}$
- $\mathrm{B_2H_6 + N(CH_3)_3}$
- $\mathrm{Al + NaOH + H_2O}$
- $\mathrm{BF_3 + NaH}$
- Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: H$_2$Se is more acidic than H$_2$Te.
Statement-II: H$_2$Se has higher bond dissociation enthalpy than H$_2$Te.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct option: A group 15 element forms \( d\pi - d\pi \) bond with transition metals. It also forms a hydride, which is the strongest base among the hydrides of other group members that form \( d\pi - d\pi \) bonds. The atomic number of the element is …….
