The answer is C.
Electrostatic force binds the the negatively charged to the positive charge atomic nucleus
The molecule is stable and can exist even though the number of valence electrons around central atom in the molecule are less than 8.
<h3>Is BF3 molecule stable or not?</h3>
BF3 molecule is a stable molecule because all the electrons present in the outermost shell of boron are covalently bonded with fluorine. Boron in BF3, three bonds is the maximum possible because boron only has 3 electrons to share.
So we can conclude that the molecule is stable and can exist even though the number of valence electrons around central atom in the molecule are less than 8.
