why AlF3 is not hypovalent

Answers

Answered by aswini2002

Explanation:

Because due to very high electronegativity of fluorine atomsAlF3 is ionic in nature. And Al3+ ion has 8 electron in valence shell(2s &2p). So AlF3 is not hypovalent.. Whereas AlCl3 being covalent in nature,has less than 8 valence electrons thereby AlCl3 is hypovalent.

Answered by Mora22

AlF3 is an ionic compound.

Those species which have the central atom with less than eight electron in the outermost shell or valence shell are considered as hypovalent species.
