  • Statement-1 : The B-F bond length in BF_(3) is not identical with that in BF_(4)^(-) because Statement-2 : Back bonding is involved in BF_(4)^(-) but not in BF_(3)

    A
    Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement -1.
    B
    Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for statement-1
    C
    Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false
    D
    Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true.

    BF_(3) is

    B- bond length in \(BF_{3}\) is "130" pm and in \(BF_{4}^{-}\) is "143" due to (A) less electronegativity of fluorine in \(BF_{4}^{-}\) (B) back bonding in \(BF_{3}\) (C) more electronegativity of boron in \(BF_{3}\) (D) tetrahedral shape of \(BF_{4}^{-}\)

    In BF_(3) , the B-F bond length is 1.30 A , when BF_(3) is allowed to be treated with Me_(3)N , it forms an adduct, Me_(3)NtoBF_(3) , The bond length of B-F in the adduct is :
