PYQ NEET- Chemistry Of P-Block Elements Group13
(1) The correct answer is: (B)
The reaction between boron trifluoride and ammonia is a Lewis acid-base reaction. Boron trifluoride is a Lewis acid and ammonia is a Lewis base. In this reaction, boron trifluoride accepts a pair of electrons from ammonia, forming a coordinate covalent bond. The product of this reaction is ammonium borofluoride.
(A) is incorrect because boron trifluoride does not react with water.
(C) is incorrect because boron trifluoride does not react with hydrogen chloride.
(D) is incorrect because boron trifluoride does not react with sodium hydroxide.
