What is the number of oxy-linkages and hybridizations of boron atoms present in borax?

Option: 1

In the borax structure, there are four oxy linkages, and in this structure, out of four, two boron atoms are s{{p}^{2}} hybridized, and the other two are s{{p}^{3}}  hybridized.


Option: 2

In the borax structure, there are five oxy linkages, and in this structure, out of four, three boron atoms are s{{p}^{2}} hybridized and one  s{{p}^{3}}  hybridized.


Option: 3

In the borax structure, there are five oxy linkages, and in this structure, out of four, two boron atoms are s{{p}^{2}} hybridized and other two are s{{p}^{3}}  hybridized.

 


Option: 4

In the borax structure, there are six oxy linkages, and in this structure, out of four, two boron atoms ares{{p}^{2}}  hybridized and other two are s{{p}^{3}} hybridized.
