Orbital Overlap; Hybrid Orbitals (Sections)

(a) Starting with the orbital diagram of a boron atom, describe the steps needed to construct hybrid orbitals appropriate to describe the bonding in BF3., (b) What is the name given to the hybrid orbitals constructed in (a)? (c) Sketch the large lobes of the hybrid orbitals constructed in part (a)., (d) Are any valence atomic orbitals of B left unhybridized? If so, how are they oriented relative to the hybrid orbitals?
