Question

boron halides don't conduct electricity in the liquid state. why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heyy mate.... here is the answer...

Explanation:

Finally, boron tribromide (BBr3). BBr3 doesn't conduct electricity in either solid nor molten states, this is because BBr3 has covalent bonding between the central B atom and the 3 surrounding Br atoms. Covalent bonds are formed through a shared pair of electrons and so BBr3 has no charged particles (delocalised electrons or ions) that are free to move, therefore it cannot carry charge at all.

Hope this helps you...
