Question : 26 of 40
Marks: +1, -0
Is there any change in the hybridisation of B and N atoms as a result of the following reaction?
BF3+NH3BF_3 + NH_3F3B.NH3F_3B.NH_3
Solution:  
In BF3BF_3, B is sp2sp^2 hybridised and has one vacant p-orbital which gets filled by accepting a lone pair of electron present on the N-atom of NH3NH_3. Nitrogen in this adduct acts as donor atom and BF3BF_3 acts as an acceptor. So, hybridization of B in BF3BF_3 changes from sp2sp^2 to sp3sp^3 whereas there is no change in hybridization of N in NH3NH_3 and in the adduct.
