When BCl3 is hydrolysed the species formed is:
[B(H2O)6]3-
[B(H2O)6]3+
[B(OH)4]-
BCl3.6H2O
The trichlorides of group 13 being covalent in nature, form tetrahedral [M(OH)4]-,on hydrolysis in water.
Classify the following species into Lewis acids and Lewis bases and show how these act as Lewis acid/base: (a) OH– (b) F– (c) H+ (d) BCl3.
B2O3 + C + Cl2→A + B. A & B are?
