B X 3 + N H 3 → B X 3 . N H 3 + Heat of adduct formation Δ H The numerical value of Δ H is found to be maximum for
Options
- AB F 3
- BB C l 3
- CB B r 3
- DB I 3
Correct answer
D. B I 3
Step-by-step solution
Lewis acidic strength B F 3 < B C l 3 < B B r 3 < B I 3 As B I 3 is strongest Lewis acid among all boron halides due to back bonding therefore, heat of adduct formation will be maximum numerically, for B I 3 .
