No lone pair of electrons is available in $$BC{l_3}.$$
One lone pair of electrons is available on $$N$$ atom, it occupies a corner in the tetrahedral arrangement. Therefore, $$NC{l_3}$$ appears pyramidal in shape.

The formation of molecular complex $$B{F_3} - N{H_3}$$ results in a change in hybridization of boron
In $$B{F_3},B$$ is $$s{p^2}$$ hybridized with one empty $${p_z}$$ orbital. The empty $${p_z}$$ orbital of $$B{F_3}$$ can be filled by lone pair of molecules such as $$N{H_3}.$$ When this occurs a tetrahedral molecule or ion is formed which is $$s{p^3}$$ hybridized.

In which of the following ionization processes, the bond order has increased and the magnetic behaviour has changed?
NOTE : Isoelectronic species have same number of electrons and isostructural species have same type of hybridisation at central atom.
$$NO_3^ - ;$$ No. of $${e^ - } = 7 + 8 \times 3 + 1 = 32,$$ hybridisation of $$N$$ in $$NO_3^ - $$ is $$s{p^3}$$
$$CO_3^{2 - };$$ No. of $${e^ - } = 6 + 8 \times 3 + 2 = 32,$$ hybridisation of $$C$$ in $$CO_3^{2 - }$$ is $$s{p^3}$$
$$ClO_3^ - ;$$ No. of $${e^ - } = 17 + 8 \times 3 + 1 = 42,$$ hybridisation of $$Cl$$ in $$ClO_3^ - $$ is $$s{p^3}$$
$$S{O_3};$$ No. of $${e^ - } = 16 + 8 \times 3 = 40,$$ hybridisation of $$S$$ in $$S{O_3}$$ is $$s{p^2}$$
$$\therefore NO_3^ - $$ and $$CO_3^{2 - }$$ are isostructural and isoelectronic.
327.
Which of the following does not show octahedral geometry?
$$S{F_4}$$ has trigonal bipyramidal geometry. $$S{F_6},I{F_5}$$ and $$SiF_6^{2 - }$$ have octahedral geometry.

The electronic configuration of four atoms are given in brackets :
$$\eqalign{

& R\left( {1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^6}3{s^1}} \right);S\left( {1{s^2}2{s^2}2{p^2}} \right) \cr} $$
