How does BF3 act as a catalyst in industrial process? Answer: It is electron deficient i.e., Lewis acid, therefore used to generate electrophile in Friedel Craft's reaction. ... The acid produced in the reaction acts as a catalysis and makes the reaction faster.❤️

Answer 2

BF3 lacks required number of the electrons

Explanation:

• In other words, BF3 is an electron deficient compound and helps to create an electrolyle
• The compound contains only six electrons in the outer shell of the electrons
• Theoretically, this shell can hold maximum eight electrons. This shows BF3 can form temporary bonds with the molecules of the reactant
• It reacts an an intermediate product before the reaction even starts
