← ScienceWhen boron trifluoride (BF3) reacts with ammonia (NH3), which outcome occurs when incomplete octets combine?
A)Coordinate covalent bond is formed✓
B)Resonance structures become more stable
C)Ionic character increases dramatically
D)Hybrid orbital symmetry remains conserved
💡 Explanation
A coordinate covalent bond happens because nitrogen donates its electron pair and boron accepts this pair forming an adduct, resulting from the *Lewis acid-base theory*, therefore BF3 accepts electrons rather than just sharing resulting in electron octets.
