Which one of the following statements regarding BF₃ is not correct?
A.It is a Lewis acid
B.It is an ionic compound✓ Correct
C.It is an electron deficient compound
D.It forms adducts
Explanation
Boron trifluoride ( 3 BF ) accepts lone pair of electrons to form a bond with vacant p orbital. Hence, it is a lewis acid. It is an electron-deficient compound, so it forms dimer to get a stable structure. And It is a covalent com- pound as the electronegative difference of boron and fluorine is less than 1.7.
