`BF_(3)` forms an adduct with `NH_(3)` because

A

Nitrogen has high electronegativity

B

Boron has smaller atomic radius than nitrogen

C

Boron has an empty 'p' orbital and nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons

D

Boron has electropositive character

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `BF_(3)`, boron is electron deficient and in `NH_(3)`, nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons, hence both from a covalent bond.
