Boron and Carbon FamilyHard
Question
Boron cannot form which one of the following anions ?
Options
A.BH4-
B.B(OH)4-
C.BO2-
D.BF63-
Solution
As Boron has only four orbitals in the valence shell ( i.e. 2s, 2px, 2py & 2pz) it can show a maximum valency of four only.
Therefore [BF6]3- is not possible
Therefore [BF6]3- is not possible
