The quantum mechanical picture of a carbocation is exactly the same as that of

A

`BF_(3)`

B

`NF_(3)`

C

`FeF_(3)`

D

`CoF_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`BF_(3)` molecules is flat like a carbocation. Infrared and Raman spectra of the tert-butyl cation are strikingly similar to those of trimethylboron, known to be flat.
