Formation of a bridge bond is best explained by molecular orbital theory. A bridge bond is formed by filling electrons into a molecular orbital spread over three nuclei; such bonds are called three-centred bonds.
In which of the following dimers does the empty atomic orbital of the central atom of the monomer not take part in hybridization?
(1) Ga2H6
(2) Al2Br6
(3) Be2H4
(4) Cl2O6
