Question: Explain the formation of bf3 molecule using hybridization?
BF3 (Boron Trifluoride) molecule takes hybridized orbitals of sp2 hybridized Boron atom. sp2 hybridization involves mixing of one 's' and two 'p' orbitals to create three sp2 hybridized orbitals, which can then form three single covalent chemical bonds. The distribution of electrons in the BF3 molecule follows this hybridization as each boron atom bonds with three fluorine atoms with single bonds resulting from the overlap of the sp2 hybridized orbitals of Boron with one 's' orbital of each fluorine atom.
