Both -B- and -N- sp3 tetrahedral.

Q. Specify the coordination geometry around and hybridisation of N and B atoms in a 1 : 1 complex of $B F_{3}$ and $N H_{3}$ .

N : tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$ ; B: tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$

N : pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$

N: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: planar, $s p^{2}$

N: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$

Both -B- and -N- $s p^{3}$ tetrahedral.
