    The order of acidic strength of boron trihalides is:

    A) \[B{{F}_{3}}<BC{{l}_{3}}<BB{{r}_{3}}<B{{I}_{3}}\]

    B) \[B{{l}_{3}}<BB{{r}_{3}}<BC{{l}_{3}}<B{{F}_{3}}\]

    C) \[BC{{l}_{3}}<BB{{r}_{3}}<B{{l}_{3}}<B{{F}_{3}}\]

    D) \[BB{{r}_{3}}<BC{{l}_{3}}<B{{F}_{3}}<B{{I}_{3}}\]

    E) \[B{{F}_{3}}<B{{I}_{3}}<BC{{I}_{3}}<BB{{r}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Boron trihalides are Lewis acid. The order of their acidic strength is as: \[B{{F}_{3}}<BC{{l}_{3}}<BB{{r}_{3}}<B{{I}_{3}}\]
