Is there any change in hybridisation of ...

Is there any change in hybridisation of the `B` and `N` atom as a result of the following reaction?
`BF_(3)+NH_(3)rarr F_(3)B.NH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `BF_(3)`, the hybridisation of B is `sp^(2)` and in `NH_(3)`, the hybridisation of N is `sp^(3)`.
After the reaction, the hybridation of B changes to `sp^(3)` but the hybridisation of N remains unchanged `(sp^(3))`.
the hybridisation and molecular shapes of some molecules are summarised in Table 10.
