How does electron deficient compound BF_(3)achieveelectronic saturation i.e., fully occupied outer electron shells ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :By thefollowing two WAYS
(i) Multiple bonding of `ppi-ppi`back bonding , e.g.,`BF_(3)`in which a lone pairof electrons present in `2p-`orbital of one of the fluorine atoms may betransferred to the vacantp-orbital one the boron atom.
(II) Formation of COMPLEXES in which electronsare RECEIVED from a donor molecule e.g., `F_(3)Brarr NH_(3)`.
Boron compounds, thus,behavesas Lewis acids.
