I think the correct answer is the first option. It has nonpolar bonds and a symmetrical structure. The structure of a BF3 molecule shows a symmetrical trigonal geometry. The net dipole moment of the molecule is zero therefore it is polar.

Answer: It has polar bonds and a symmetrical structure.

Explanation:

Formula used  for calculating hybridization

:{\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where, V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. boron= 3

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom=3

C = charge of cation = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

BF_3

{\text{Number of electrons}} =\frac{1}{2}[3+3-0+0]=3

The number of electrons is 3 that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Thus as there are no lone pair of electrons, there is no distortion and the molecule is symmetrical. The B-F bonds are polar due to electronegativity difference but the polarities cancel due to symmetrical structure.

How many atoms are in 22 grams of copper metal?
strojnjashka [21]
Atomic mass Cu = 63.546 a.m.u

63.546 g ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
22 g --------------------- ??

22 x (6.02x10²³ ) / 63.546 => 2.08x10²³ atoms

How does the tilt of earth <br>affect the climate?
masha68 [24]
The tilt of the earth provides the earth with seasons. As the earth revolved around the sun different portions (northern or Southern Hemisphere) is exposed more directly to the suns radiation, thus it is hotter in those regions. (Why the United States experiences winter in December but Australia experience summer in December.)

Heating a solution of alcohol and water, then collecting the alcohol vapors and condensing them into a liquid with higher alcoho
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Distillation.

Explanation:

If we are heating a mixture of two miscible liquids and collecting the vapors it means we are separating the two mixtures from each other based on their boiling point differences.

This technique of separation of two liquids based on the difference in boiling point is known as Distillation.

Alcohol will evaporate easily as compared to water as water has stronger influence of hydrogen bond making the inter-molecular forces stronger.
