Problem í¨3-Boron is unable to form BF ion. Explain. |
|
Answer» Boron does not have d orbitals. Because of this, it is not possible for the element to expand on its octet. This, in turn, causes the maximum covalence of boron to be restricted to 4. Beyond this value, boron will become unstable and not be able to form BF6 3- ions. |
