Max. p pi-p pi back bonding exist in:
1. BCl3
2.BF3
3.BBr3
4.BI3

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Among the given boron trihalides, maximum pπ-pπ back bonding exists in BF3. This is because as the size of halogen atom increases down the group, the overlapping of the vacant 2p orbital of boron cannot take place easily and efficiently with the p-orbitals of high energy levels.

Hope this information will clear your doubts.
