Step 1

First, we need to determine the Lewis structure of Boron trifluoride (BF3). Boron has 3 valence electrons, and each Fluorine atom has 7 valence electrons. So, the total number of valence electrons is 3 + (3 * 7) = 24. The Lewis structure of BF3 is: F Show more…

Electron Geometry: Molecular Geometry: trigonal planar VSEPR Drawing Boron trifluoride (BF3) Lewis Structure Boron is the central atom in the BF3 molecule. It has 3 single bonds and no lone pairs. The electron geometry around the central atom is trigonal planar. The molecular geometry is also trigonal planar. The molecule is nonpolar.
