Q. Select the most appropriate statement In $BF_3$

KEAMKEAM 2017The p-Block Elements

Solution:

$BF _{3}$ is a covalent compound. Boron has $3$ valency electrons with number $d$ -orbital. Fluorine also have number $d$-orbital with $7$ valency electrons. Thus Boron will form three covalent bonds with three fluorine atoms to complete its octate and give a stable $BF _{3}$ molecule. Hence, $BF _{3}$ is a covalent compound.
