In BF3, there is back bonding from Fluorine to Boron and hence it’s weaker lewis acid. Also when
Nitrogen from sigma coordinate bond with boron in the adduct, then the pie coordinate bond between
Fluorine to Boron is broken.

In NH(SiH 3 ) 2 electron density or lone pair at N-atom is involved in back bonding only with two empty
3d-orbitals of two silicon atoms while in N(SiH 3 )3 it is involved with three empty 3d-orbitals of three
silicon atoms. Strength of back bonding in NH(SiH 3 ) 2 is higher than in N(SiH 3 )3 hence, N–Si bond
length in NH(SiH 3 ) 2 is less than that of in N(SiH 3 )3 .

Correct order of Lewis acidic character: SiF4 > PF5 > SF6 . Although, S has vacant 3d-orbitals but it
cannot accept co-ordinate bond from Lewis base due to steric crowding factor as S-atom is already

or 4sin θ (1 − cos θ ) + 4cos θ (1 + sin θ ) = 4cos θ − 4sin θ

or sin θ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ
For θ = ( 2m + 1) π, 1 + cos θ = 0

Which is not possible. Hence θ = 2nπ
