Question

Select the appropriate statements and arrange them in a logical order to explain the bonding in BF 3. Each of the singly occupied hybrid orbitals on B over taps with a singly occupied 2p orbital on an F atom. The unhybridixed 2p orbitals on B interact with the 2p orbitals on the F atoms to form pl bounds. The 2s and two of the 2p orbitals on B combine to form three x p^2 hybrid orbitals. A 2s electron is prompted to 2p orbited on B. The 2s electrons is B are promoted to 2p orbitals. Each of the singly occupied 2p orbitals on B overlaps with a singly occupied 2 s orbital on a F atom.
