The bond dissociation energy of B-F in BF_3 is 646 ~kJ mol ^ -1...

The bond dissociation energy of B−F\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{F} in BF3\mathrm{BF}_3 is 646 kJ646 \mathrm{~kJ} mol −1{ }^{-1} whereas that of C−F\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{F} in CF4\mathrm{CF}_4 is 515 kJ515 \mathrm{~kJ} mol −1^{-1}. The correct reason for higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of CC - FF is :

Options

  1. Asmaller size of B-atom as compared to that of C-atom
  2. Bstronger σ\sigma bond between B\mathrm{B} and F\mathrm{F} in BF3\mathrm{BF}_3 as compared to that between C\mathrm{C} and F\mathrm{F} in CF4\mathrm{CF}_4
  3. Csignificant pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi interaction between B\mathrm{B} and F\mathrm{F} in BF3\mathrm{BF}_3 whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C\mathrm{C} and F\mathrm{F} in CF4\mathrm{CF}_4.
  4. Dlower degree of pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi interaction between B\mathrm{B} and F\mathrm{F} in BF3\mathrm{BF}_3 than that between C\mathrm{C} and F\mathrm{F} in CF4\mathrm{CF}_4.

Correct answer

C. significant pπ−pπ\mathrm{p} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi interaction between B\mathrm{B} and F\mathrm{F} in BF3\mathrm{BF}_3 whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C\mathrm{C} and F\mathrm{F} in CF4\mathrm{CF}_4.
