explain the nature of boron trifluoride as a Lewis acid​

Answers

Answered by itzHitman

Explanation:

The electric configuration of boron is ns2 np1. ... This means that there are only six electrons around boron and its octet remains incomplete. When one atom of boron combines with three fluorine atoms, its octet remains incomplete. Hence, boron trifluoride remains electron-deficient and acts as a Lewis acid.

You can estimate the deadliness of each type of cancer by dividing the number of deaths by the number of cases. If nearly everyone who received a diagnosis of one particular type of cancer dies, the ratio will be near 1 (or 100% deadly). If many more people receive a diagnosis than die, the ratio will be near 0 (or 0% deadly).
