Q22 / 56 · NEST (NISER) 2011 · Chemistry
Lewis acidity of boron halides follow the order ( $\approx$ meaning approximately equal to)
- A$\mathrm{BF}_3 \approx \mathrm{BBr}_3 \approx \mathrm{BCl}_3$
- Correct answerB$\mathrm{BF}_3 \lt \mathrm{BCl}_3 \lt \mathrm{BBr}_3$
- C$\mathrm{BCl}_3 \approx \mathrm{BBr}_3 \lt \mathrm{BF}_3$
- D$\mathrm{BBr}_3 \lt \mathrm{BCl}_3 \lt \mathrm{BF}_3$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
