    The formation of molecular complex \[B{{F}_{3}}-N{{H}_{3}}\]  results in a change in hybridization of boron

    A) from \[s{{p}^{2}}\]to \[ds{{p}^{2}}\] 

    B) from \[s{{p}^{2}}\]to \[s{{p}^{3}}\]

    C) from \[s{{p}^{3}}\] to \[s{{p}^{2}}\]  

    D) from \[s{{p}^{3}}\] to \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] In \[B{{F}_{3}}\], B is \[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridized with one empty \[{{p}_{z}}\] orbital. The empty \[{{p}_{z}}\] orbital of \[B{{F}_{3}}\] can be filled by lone pair of molecules such as \[N{{H}_{3}}\]. When this occurs a tetrahedral molecule or ion is formed which is \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridized.
