The bond dissociation energy of B−F in BF3 is 646 kJ mol −1 whereas that of C−F in CF4 is 515 kJ mol −1. The correct reason for higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C - F is :
Held on 30 Apr 2009 · Verified 6 Jul 2026.
Options
- A
smaller size of B-atom as compared to that of C-atom
- B
stronger σ bond between B and F in BF3 as compared to that between C and F in CF4
- C
significant pπ−pπ interaction between B and F in BF3 whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C and F in CF4.
- D
lower degree of pπ−pπ interaction between B and F in BF3 than that between C and F in CF4.
