BF 3 is planar and electron deficient compound. Hybridization and number of electrons around the central atom, respectively are:

Options

  1. Asp 3 and 4
  2. Bsp 3 and 6
  3. Csp 2 and 6
  4. Dsp 2 and 8

Correct answer

C. sp 2 and 6

Step-by-step solution

The structure of BF 3 can be shown as follows, Three hybrid orbital are required to form BF 3 . Hence, the hybridisation of Boron is sp 2 and the number of electrons around the boron is 6 due to the presence of three B - F bonds.
