Chapter 4, Problem 4.49AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The geometry of BF3 molecule is to be predicted. The hybridization of boron in BF3 molecule is to be stated. The orbital diagram for the hybridized boron is to be drawn. Also, the hybrid orbital description of the bonding in BF3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Geometry of a molecule is defined as the arrangement of atoms in three dimensions. It includes the bond lengths, bond angles and shape of the molecule. Hybridization is the concept in which atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals to form chemical bonds.
