Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Structure of crystalline form of borax
(a) Borax contains four boron atom; hence, it is tetranuclear.
(b) Only 2 boron atoms lie in the same plane.
(c) Two boron atoms are hybridised other two borons are hybridised.
(d) Each of the boron has hydroxyl group attached to it with two hydroxyl groups present as hydroxyl salts.
