Chapter 13, Problem 82E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for the BF3 molecule to not follow the octet rule needs to be explained using the formal charge arguments.

Concept Introduction: Resonance is a process that involves the delocalization of electrons to form different Lewis structure of a compound or ion. Not all compounds can show resonance.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Use the formal charge argument to rationalize why BF3 would not follow the octet rule.
Explain what is involved when an atom expands its octet AND why nitrogen is incapable of doing so. What is the benefit of calculating the formal charges while completing Lewis structures?
What is electronegativity and what are its periodic trends? What is the general relationship between the size of an atom and its ionization energy?
