BACK BONDING
F
e–deficient species
B
F F
B–F bond length is less than expected but bond energy & bond strength are
more than expected in BF3 molecule and it can be explained by back bonding.
Conditions of B.B. -
1. Both covalently bonded atoms must belongs to 2nd period.
OR
1 atom belongs to 2 period and the other atom belongs to 3rd period.
nd
2. 1 covalently bonded atom must have lone pair and the other atom
must have vacant orbital (V.O)

BACK BONDING
• Bond bonding is a type of sideway overlapping in which there is a slight
transfer of e– from e– rich species to e– deficient atom.
