Answer:

The shape of the BF3 molecule is best described as trigonal planar.

Explanation:

The Lewis Structure for BF3 is like this:

 _            _

| F |        | F |

   \          /

        B

         |

      | F |

       ---

It forms three angles of 120° each. The bonds are in the same planar that's why it is trigonal planar and they are exactly the same.

Boron and Fluorine have 3 covalent bonds, produced by electronic promotion that enables the 2py and 2pz orbitals, leaving an electron to pair in the 2px. So boron will have 3 possible electrons to pair in 2s1, 2px and 2py, remember that electronic configuration for B is 1s2, 2s2, 2p1

By hybridization between the orbitals 2s2 and 2p1, the electrons of F, can joined to make the covalent bond. The new B configuration is 1s2, 2s1, 2px1, 2py1 (these last three, hybrid orbitals)

Which statement describes an eletron
Vitek1552 [10]
An electron carries a negative power to the atom. in each atom, the amount of protons and electrons are usually evened out so the atom is stable. the electrons of an atom are also found on the outside ring of an atom, unlike protons and neutrons, which are inside the atom. glad to help! :)

The ionic equation for MgCl2 and KOH.
saw5 [17]
The reaction of Mg Cl2 and KOH can be described as a double substitution type of reaction. This means the cations of the reactants are exchanged in places when the products are formed. In this case, the balanced reaction is expressed
MgCl2 (s) + 2KOH (aq) = Mhg (OH)2 (aq) + 2KCl (s)

Lucky Charms: E

Salt: O

Dirt: E

Sausage and mushroom pizza: E

Air: O

Milk: O

Gold: O

Any mixture that looks the same through the substance is homogenous. The different parts are unable to be visibly seen. (Any periodic element is homogenous)

Any mixture that can be easily determined a mix and cannot be evenly separated or dispersed is heterogenous.
