How Boron undergoes sp3 hybridization ?
Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:
Boron shows sp2 hybridisation is complexes like BCl3, BF3.
B has 3 outermost electrons in its valence shell.
Cl has one electron in its outermost shell.
Thus Boron forms 3 bond pairs with Cl as shown below.
And the hybridisation becomes sp2
the geometry of the molecule is trigonal planar.
Hope this information will clear your doubts regarding the topic. If you have any other doubts please ask here on the forum and our experts will try to solve them as soon as possible.
