प्रश्न
Explain the following:
Aluminium forms [AlF6]3– ion but boron does not form [BF6]3– ion.
उत्तर
Al has vacant d-orbitals and hence can expand its coordination number from 4 to 6 and hence forms octahedral [AlF6]3– ion in which Al undergoes sp3d2 hybridisation. In contrast, B does not have d-orbitals. Therefore, it can have a maximum coordination number of 4. Therefore, B forms [BF4]– (in which B is sp3-hybridised) but not [BF6]3–.
