Specify hybridization of N and B atoms in a complex of and

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The reaction forms an adduct: F₃B-NH₃. In NH₃, N is sp³ hybridized and tetrahedral electron geometry, pyramidal molecular geometry. In BF₃, B is sp² hybridized and trigonal planar. Upon adduct formation, B accepts a lone pair, becoming sp³ hybridized with tetrahedral geometry. N remains sp³ hybridized.

 

The correct option is A.
