Why does Boro...

Question

Why does Boron disobey octet rule and what is its electronic configuration?

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student, because boran has only 3 electrons in its valence shell. As The octet rule will be violated in all those cases where there are more or less than eight electrons in the valence shell of the central atom. Electronic configuration of Boron(B) 1s2 2s2 2p1. Regards

Q. What is the electron configuration for boron?

Q. Assertion :Octet rule is obeyed in the formation of sodium chloride. Reason: According to octet rule, the sodium atom which has only single electron in outermost shell , looses the electron to get a stable configuration like Ne gas, while the chlorine gas with 7 valence electrons gains an electron from the Na atom to obtain an stable configuration like Ar gas.

Q. Based on the octet rule, boron will most likely form:
