Describe the shapes of and . Assign the hybridisation of boron in these species.

Answer»

n TENDS to produce monomeric covalent halides due to its “SMALL size” and “high electronegativity”. These halides have a triangular planar geometry. This triangular shape consists of the overlap between three HYBRIDIZED boron orbitals and the sp orbitals of three HALOGEN atoms. Boron have hybridization.(ii) The hybridization of boron-hydride ion is and geometry of is tetrahedral.
