Can boron atoms, B form dative bonds with nitrogen atoms, N in the compound ammonia?

1 answer:

3 0

"The boron-nitrogen interaction in the studied molecules shows some similarities with the N→B bond in the H3N-BH3 molecule, formally understood as covalent-dative. ... The results show that all the studied BN bonds are triple, since three two-center orbitals have been obtained."

"Formation of a dative bond or coordinate bond between ammonia and boron trifluoride. When the nitrogen donates a pair of electrons to share with the boron, the boron gains an octet. ... In addition, a pair of non-bonding electrons becomes bonding; they are delocalized over two atoms and become lower in energy."

Julli [10]

<span>The liquid form of matter is usually more dense than its gas form. This is because liquid molecules are closer together compared to gas molecules. An exception, however, is water. Water's solid form or ice is less dense than its liquid form because of the orientation of hydrogen bonds that lowers its density.</span>
