Is there any change in the hybridisation...

Is there any change in the hybridisation of B and N atoms as a result of the following reaction?
` BF_3 + NH_3 to F_3 B.NH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `BF_(3)` hybridization of B is `sp^(2).` In `NH_(3)` hybridization of N is `sp^(3).` But after the reaction hybridation of B changes from `sp^(2)` to `sp^(3)` but hybridization of N remains the same, i.e., `sp^(3).`
