Why does boron trifluoride act as a Lewis acid?
Lewis Acid are able to accept electrons. Boron in Boron Trifluoride only contains 6 electrons, thus making it able to receive 2 more electrons to complete it's octet. Also, Boron is an exception that it is stable with a sixtet, which makes it BF3 a neutral molecule.
What does boron look like?
Elemental boron (as compared to bornon compounds) is a metal, which looks much like aluminum.
Lewis dot structure of boron?
the Lewis structure of B or Boron would have three small dots posing as electrons. These dots can be placed anywhere around the B symbol.
Why is boron being treated for arthritis?
Boron is being evaluted for treating arthritisbecause there are some compounds that seem useful to help it.
What is the second row nonmetals that forms electron deficient compounds?
boron
How many covalent bonds does boron?
Boron is in group 3 and forms generally 3 covalent bonds. Because forming 3 bonds only gives boron a share of 6 electrons boron compounds are Lewis acids.

Does boron form compounds?
Yes, it does
What compound does boron form?
electron defecient compounds
Which compound is used in preparation of green fire?
Examples: compounds of copper, boron, barium

What element or its compounds give green colors in fireworks?
Boron or copper(II) compounds (excluding halogenides).
Why is boron being treated for arthritis?

Why boron forms electron deficient compound?
boron has very small atomic radius.the hypothetical B3+ ion has very small size and hence high charge densities.This value is so high that B3+ ion does not exist.All thecompounds of boron are therefor covalent.Boron has 4 valencce electro n and this gives it a great electron accepting power that is its compound behave as strong lewis acid
What is the second row nonmetals that forms electron deficient compounds?
boron
What are some common compounds made from silicon?
gold, boron, and magnesium :)
