which of the following is not hydrolysed by water and why?
BF​3,BCl3 and BBr3

BBr3 does not undergo hydrolysis as it does not form hydrogen bond with water. As the electronegativity of Br is less, it does not form hydrogen bond
BCl3 and BF3 undergoes hydrolysis to form the product boric acid, as they form hydrogen bond with water. 
BX3 + 3H2O ---> H3BO3 + 3HX
Where X is Cl and F.
