The bond dissociation energy of B – F in BF3 is 646 kJ mol–1 , whereas that of C – F in CF4 is 515 kJ mol–1. The correct reason for the higher B-F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C-F is :
1. Smaller size of B-atom as compared to that of C-atom
2. Stronger σ bond between B and F in BF3 as compared to that between C and F in CF4
3. Significant pπ − pπ interaction between B and F in BF3 whereas there is no possibility of such interaction between C and F in CF4
4. Lower degree of pπ − pπ interaction between B and F in BF3 than that between C and F in CF4
