Notes 14.11
The reaction of the Lewis acid BF3 with the Lewis base NH3. The electrostatic potential maps show that the B atom is
electron poor (blue) and the N atom is electron righ (red). The geometry about boron changes from trigonal planar in
BF3 to tetrahedral in the adduct. Both boron and nitrogen use sp3 hybrid orbitals in the adduct.
