Question

In the formation of BF3, molecule,Boron
atom undergoes

A) sp2 -hybridisation
B) sp -hybridisation
C) sp3 -hybridisation
D) dsp²? -hybridisation​

Answer 1

BF3 has a boron atom with three outer-shell electrons in its ground state and three fluorine atoms containing seven outer electrons. ... In short, Boron needs 3 hybridized orbitals to make bonds with 3 atoms of F where the 2pz orbitals get overlapped with these hybridized sp2 orbitals and bonds are formed.

Answer 2

In the formation of BF3, molecule,Boron

atom undergoes sp²hybridisation.

BF3 has a boron atom with three outer-shell electrons in its ground state and three fluorine atoms containing seven outer electrons. ... In short, Boron needs 3 hybridized orbitals to make bonds with 3 atoms of F where the 2pz orbitals get overlapped with these hybridized sp2 orbitals and bonds are formed.

Hence, option A) is the correct option
