What is Boron Trifluoride molecular shape?
Also known as BF3. Trigonal Planar.. Or a triangle.
Is BF3 soluble in water?
Yes BF3 is soluble in water.Although its VSEPR shape is trigonal planar, which is supposed to be non-polar, the fluorine atoms, to which the Boron atom is attached, are able to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Therefore, BF3 is soluble in water.
Is bf3 a nonpolar or polar molecule?
BF3 is Non-Polar :)
How many double bond are in BF3?
None! BF3 is isoelectronic with CO32- which does have pi bonds however BF3 is also planar but pi bonds are not present. It is not an easy question to answer. Lot of work was done looking for evidence of pi bonds. The simplest answer is fluorine never forms double bonds because it is so electronegative its p orbitals are the wrong shape and enerrgy.
Which of these compounds would have a VSEPR formula of AXËÄ a.PF3 B.CCl4 C. BF3 D. FCl3?
bf3
What is molecular shape of BF3?
The shape of this molecule is Trigonal Planar. this is because it has no lone pairs of electrons so it maintains a 2D shape.
What VSEPR shape does BF3 have?
It would be trigonal planar, with bond angles of 120º.

BF3 is Non-Polar :)
What compound would have a vsepr formula in AX3?
The Valence shell electron pair repulsion, or VSEPR is a simple technique for predicting the shape or geometry of atomic centers. The VSEPR formula is used in small molecules and molecular ions.

What is better BF3 or MW3 and why?
BF3 because i have both and BF3 is very realiastic, has many interactive objects like vehicles, the online is very nice. MW3 is almost cartoony compared to BF3 and MW3 is just like the other COD's and gets boring. its predictable. I like BF3 way more. :)
What will be better mw3 or bf3?
bf3 all the way Jokes Mw3 is way better
Is BF3 a fat or a lipid?
BF3 is a common boron compound and is neither a fat or a lipid which are the same thing
Which of these compounds would have a VSEPR formula of AXËÄ a.PF3 B.CCl4 C. BF3 D. FCl3?
bf3
Which is the increasing acidity order of those Lewis acid BF3 BBr3 BI3 BCl3?
Increasing order of Lewis acidity BH3>BBR3>BCl3>BF3
