The geometry around boron in the product 'BB' formed from the following reaction is

BF3+NaH⟶450KA+NaF{BF}_{3} + NaH\overset{450K}{⟶}A + NaF

A+NMe3→BA + {NMe}_{3} \to B

The geometry around boron in the product ' B ' formed from the following reaction is BF _ 3 + NaH 450K ⟶ A + NaF A +

Options

  1. Atrigonal planar
  2. Btetrahedral
  3. Cpyramidal
  4. Dsquare planar

Correct answer

B. tetrahedral

Step-by-step solution

2BF3+6NaH→B2H6(A)+6NaF2{BF}_{3} + 6NaH \to \mathop{{B}_{2}{H}_{6}}_{\left(A\right)} + 6NaF

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.

B2H6+2Me3N→2( Me 3N)+{B}_{2}{H}_{6} + 2{Me}_{3}N \to \mathop{2{\left({\text{ Me }}_{3}N\right)}^{+}}_{\left(B\right)}{\left({BH}_{3}\right)}^{-}

In this product geometry around Boron will be tetrahedral. And it will have sp3{sp}^{3} hybridisation.

The geometry around boron in the product ' B ' formed from the following reaction is BF _ 3 + NaH 450K ⟶ A + NaF A +
