4.26 Is there any change in the hybridisation of and atoms as a result of the following reaction?
Initially boron atom was in hybridised. The valence orbital of boron in the excited state can be shown as:
And nitrogen atom in is hybridised. The valence orbital of nitrogen in the excited state can be shown as:
Then after the reaction has occured the product is formed by the hybridisation of 'B' changes to . However, the hybridisation of 'N' remains unchanged.
