Q
Q: What type of hybridization is present in the molecule BF3?
Solution:
BF3 has sp2 hybridization as it has three bonding pairs and no lone pairs.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in the molecule BF3, which is Boron (B).
Step 2: Count the number of bonds Boron forms with Fluorine (F) atoms. In BF3, Boron forms three bonds with three Fluorine atoms.
Step 3: Determine the number of lone pairs on the central atom (Boron). In BF3, there are no lone pairs on Boron.
Step 4: Use the VSEPR theory to determine the hybridization. Since there are three bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the hybridization is sp2.
Step 5: Conclude that BF3 has sp2 hybridization.
