Which of the following is a possible reaction of diborane with ammonia?

Option: 1

\mathrm{B_{2}H_{6}+NH_{3}\rightarrow B\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{2}+H_{2}}


Option: 2

\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{BH}_4


Option: 3

\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{BNH}_3


Option: 4

\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+\mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{BN}+3 \mathrm{H}_2

Diborane can react with ammonia to form a boron-ammonia complex, which has the formula B(NH3)2. This reaction is a Lewis acid-base reaction, where diborane acts as the Lewis acid and accepts a pair of electrons from the lone pair on the nitrogen atom in ammonia. This results in the formation of B(NH3)2 and a hydrogen molecule (H2). The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct stoichiometry or products of the reaction. Hence option A is the correct answer. 

Option(B) The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct stoichiometry or products of the reaction. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option(C) The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct stoichiometry or products of the reaction. Hence option C is incorrect.

Option(D) The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct stoichiometry or products of the reaction. Hence option D is incorrect.
