Question

Consider the molecule BF3. (c) What hybrid orbitals
should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds
in BF3?

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us to determine the type of hybridized orbital's that are used by the central carbon atom and methane to form C. H bonds. So let's draw our LewiS structure so we have a carbon surrounded by four hydrogen and no loan pairs. And now let's count our electron groups. We have one, 2, 3, 4 electron groups, which makes this S. P. Three molecule, and that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
