Question

Find the Bond order of CF3+

Answer 1

Answer:

In both the compounds, hybridisation of Carbon is sp2 and hence, their structures are almost similar. Only difference is the type of bonds they are forming.

In the case of CF3(+), 2p-2p bonds are formed. But in case of CCl3(+), 2p-3p bonds are formed. Since, the former type of bond is more stable than the later, the former compound is also more stable than the later one.

One thing I would like to mention that had it been CF3(-) and CCl3(-), the CCl3(-) would've been more stable because of the formation of pπ-dπ multiple bonds and in turn, delocalise the negative charge. CF3(-) cannot form pπ-dπ bonds because F lacks d-orbital.
