Explain why BH3 is trigonal planar and NH3 is trigonal pyramidal.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:o It is important to realise that mixing will be small unless there are electrons in the 4a1 LUMO, this is why NH3 is pyramidal while BH3 is planar! ... This mixing is very strong and stabilises the 3a1 MO substantially and hence NH3 is trigonal pyramidal and not planar.

Consider the molecule BF3. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated B atom? (b) What is the electron con- figurat
anzhelika [568]

For the given molecule, we are asked to give-

  1. The electron configuration of an isolated B atom
  2. The electron configuration of an isolated F atom
  3. Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride
  4. valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom.
  • The electron configuration of an isolated B atom:

as atomic number of B is 5

electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p¹

  • The electron configuration of an isolated F atom:

as atomic number of F is 9

electronic configuration will be  [He] 2s² 2p5

  • Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride will be sp2.

as the one s and two of p orbital from the valance shell will hybridised to make 3 hybrid orbital of B resulting in 3 B-F bonds.

  • valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom will be 1
