NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
Which type of bond is formed between BF 3 and NH 3 when they react, and why does BF 3 act as an acid despite not having a proton?
Options
- AIonic bond, due to the transfer of electrons.
- BHydrogen bond, due to the presence of hydrogen atoms.
- CCoordinate (dative) bond, because BF 3 is an electron-deficient compound.
- DCovalent bond, because both molecules share electrons.
Correct answer
C. Coordinate (dative) bond, because BF 3 is an electron-deficient compound.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) Coordinate (dative) bond, because BF 3 is an electron-deficient compound.
