The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement regarding the molecule \( BF_3NH_3 \), we need to analyze the structure and properties of both \( BF_3 \) and \( NH_3 \) and their interaction in the complex. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of \( BF_3NH_3 \)**: - \( BF_3 \) consists of one boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. Boron is an electron-deficient atom (hypovalent) and has only six electrons in its valence shell. - \( NH_3 \) consists of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, with one lone pair on the nitrogen. 2. **Hybridization and Geometry**: - For \( BF_3 \): - Hybridization: \( sp^2 \) - Geometry: Trigonal planar - Bond angle: Approximately \( 120^\circ \) - For \( NH_3 \): - Hybridization: \( sp^3 \) - Geometry: Tetrahedral - Bond angle: Approximately \( 107^\circ \) 3. **Lewis Acid-Base Interaction**: - \( NH_3 \) acts as a Lewis base because it donates its lone pair of electrons to \( BF_3 \), which acts as a Lewis acid. - Upon donation of the lone pair from \( NH_3 \) to \( BF_3 \), the resulting complex \( BF_3NH_3 \) will have altered bond angles due to the new electron pair interactions. 4. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: The \( F-B-F \) bond angle is less than \( 120^\circ \). - This is correct because the presence of \( NH_3 \) can distort the bond angles. - **Statement 2**: The \( H-N-H \) bond angle is greater than \( 109^\circ \). - This is also correct; the donation of the lone pair can lead to a slight increase in the bond angle. - **Statement 3**: Exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonds. - This is correct; \( NH_3 \) can form hydrogen bonds with other \( NH_3 \) molecules or with other polar molecules. - **Statement 4**: The hybridization of nitrogen atoms is \( sp^3 \). - This is correct; nitrogen in \( NH_3 \) is \( sp^3 \) hybridized. 5. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all statements, it appears that all provided statements are correct. Hence, there is no incorrect statement regarding \( BF_3NH_3 \).
