What type of hybrid orbitals form by the boron atom in a molecule of boron fluoride?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Boron
doesn't follow the octet rule in that many of its compounds are electron deficient. The B has 3 valence electrons
and each F has 7 valence electrons, so 3*7=21+3 is 24 valence electrons in total. As the Lewis diagram will reveal, the B is connected to 3 atoms
and has no lone pairs, thus sp2.

What is a chemical and word equation for boron plus fluorine?
B + 3F [arrow] BF3 Boron and fluorine yield boron (III) fluoride.
How many orbital shells do boron have?
Boron has 2 shells altogether. 2 electrons on the first one and the remaining three on the second. Altogether boron (B) has 5 electrons.
How many electrons does a boron atom have in its outer shell?
Boron has 2 orbitals
Which of the following elements is stable neon or carbon or boron or fluorine?
All of them are "stable" elements in at least one isotope. The word "inert" is the term that applies to neon as it has completely filled atomic orbitals and obeys the octet rule.
What orbitals are filled when you move from boron to neon?
The 2p orbitals.
What is mono boron fluoride?
BF. There is one Boron and one Flouride.
What is the correct formula for boron fluoride?
BF3
Is boron fluoride covalent or ionic?
Covalent
