Which of the following is the correct prediction about observed B - F bond length in BF_3 molecule ?

Answer»

B - F bond length in `BF_3` is FOUND to be less than theoretical value because the electronegativity values of B (2.04) and F (4.0) SUGGEST the bond length to be ionic and hence , the attraction between oppositely CHARGED ions must decrease the bond length.
`BF_3 and [BF_4]^(-)` have equal B - F bond length .
The decrease in the B - F bond length in `BF_3` is due to delocalised `ppi - ppi` bonding between vacant 2p ORBITAL of B and filled 2p orbital of F
The correct B - X bond length order is `B - F gtBClgtB-BrgtB-I`
