Consider the boron trifluoride molecule, BF3, that results from the bonding of three fluorine atoms and one hybridized boron atom.
A) The nub that is seen just below the boron central atom is one of the ends of a hybrid sp2 orbital.
B) The bond between the fluorine atom and the hybrid orbital on boron shown in the figure is a p bond.
C) The other two hybrid orbitals on boron are oriented at 120° with respect to the one shown.
The orbital on fluorine is a p orbital.
