JEE Main2009Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)Actual
The bond dissociation energy of B - F in BF ₃ is 646 ~kJ mol ⁻¹ whereas that of C - F in CF ₄ is 515 ~kJ mol ⁻¹ . The correct reason for higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C - F is :
Options
- Asmaller size of B-atom as compared to that of C-atom
- Bstronger bond between B and F in BF ₃ as compared to that between C and F in CF ₄
- Csignificant p - p interaction between B and F in BF ₃ whereas there is no possibility of such interaction betw
- Dlower degree of p - p interaction between B and F in BF ₃ than that between C and F in CF ₄ .
Correct answer
C. significant p - p interaction between B and F in BF ₃ whereas there is no possibility of such interaction betw
Step-by-step solution
option itself is the reason
