The correct Answer is:
To determine the coordination geometry and hybridization of the nitrogen (N) and boron (B) atoms in the 1:1 complex of BF₃ and NH₃, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Hybridization of BF₃ - Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has three bond pairs and no lone pairs. - The hybridization of boron in BF₃ is **sp²**. - The coordination geometry around boron is **trigonal planar**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Hybridization of NH₃ - Ammonia (NH₃) has three bond pairs (N-H bonds) and one lone pair. - The hybridization of nitrogen in NH₃ is **sp³**. - The coordination geometry around nitrogen is **tetrahedral**. ### Step 3: Formation of the 1:1 Complex - When BF₃ reacts with NH₃, a coordinate bond is formed where the lone pair of nitrogen is donated to boron. - This results in the formation of the complex BF₃·NH₃. ### Step 4: Determine the Hybridization in the Complex - In the complex, the nitrogen atom still has three N-H bonds and now forms a coordinate bond with BF₃, maintaining a total of four bonding interactions. - Therefore, nitrogen in the complex remains **sp³** hybridized with a tetrahedral geometry. - For boron, when it forms a coordinate bond with NH₃, it effectively has four bonding interactions (three F atoms and one N atom). Hence, boron also becomes **sp³** hybridized, leading to a tetrahedral geometry. ### Conclusion - In the 1:1 complex of BF₃ and NH₃: - The nitrogen atom (N) is **sp³ hybridized** with a **tetrahedral geometry**. - The boron atom (B) is also **sp³ hybridized** with a **tetrahedral geometry**.
