The order of acidic strenght boron trihalides is:

A

`BF_(3)ltBCl_(3)ltBBr_(3)ltBl_(3)`

B

`Bl_(3)ltBBr_(3) ltBCl_(3)ltBF_(3)`

C

`BCl_(3)ltBBr_(3)ltBl_(3)ltBF_(3)`

D

`BBr_(3)ltBCl_(3)ltBF_(3)ltBl_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Is the correct order. This is ex plained wiith the help of c onc ept of back b onding which is maximum in `BF_(3)` and least in `Bl_(3)`.

The correct order of Lewis acidic strength of boron trihalides :

The unexpected order of acidic strength of the trihalides of boron can best be explained by.

Boron forms BX_(3) type of halides. The correct increasing order of Lewis acid strength of these halides is

Boron, the first member of group 13 (p-block) is a typical non-metal. H exists in two allotropic forms. The compounds of boron are mainly electron deficient as well as Lewis acids. For example, all the trihalides of boron (BX_(3)) are Lewis acids. The expected order of acidic strength based on the electro negativity of halogen atoms is : BF_(3)gtBC l_(3)gtBBr_(3)gtBl_(3) . But the actual order is the reverse. This is explained with the help of the concept of back bonding (p pi- p pi) . Among the hydrides of boron. diborane has a bridged structure. Among the halides of the elements of group 13, the one which is most acidic is:
