Select the correct statement for Ne.

Options

A. All the bonds are completely Covalent
B. the B-F bond is partially ionic
C. B-F bond has partial double bond character
D. Bond energy and bond length data indicates single bond character of the B-F bond

Answer

C

Explanation

`BF_(3)` is a covalent compound. Boron has 3 valency electrons with number d-orbital. Fluorine also have number d-orbital with 7 valency electrons. Thus Boron will form three covalent bonds with three fluorine atoms to complete its octate and give a stable `BF_(3)` molecule. Hence, `BF_(3)` is a covalent compound.
