The geometry around boron in the product '' formed from the following reaction is
Options
- Atrigonal planar
- Btetrahedral
- Cpyramidal
- Dsquare planar
Correct answer
B. tetrahedral
Step-by-step solution
In this reaction hydride ions replace the fluoride ions. and diborane is formed, which is a Lewis acid due to incomplete octet. It breaks symmetrically with bases like tertiary amines.
_{\left(B\right)}{\left({BH}_{3}\right)}^{-}
In this product geometry around Boron will be tetrahedral. And it will have hybridisation.
