Chapter 10, Problem 10.88QP
Write Lewis formulas for the BF molecule (two with a single B─F bond, two with a double B─F bond, and one with a triple B─F bond) in which the octet rule is satisfied for at least one of the atoms. Obtain the formal charges of the atoms. Based on the information you have, is there one formula that you think best describes the molecule? Explain. For this best Lewis formula, give the valence bond description of the bonding.
