3. Explain why:
Lewis acid strengths of boron halides are in the order BBr3 >> BCl3 >
BF3 opposite to the order expected based on electronegativities.
Radius ratio rule is correct only 66% of the times in predicting
coordination numbers in ionic compounds.
Me3B is a monomer, whereas Me3Al exits as a dimer.
Viscosity of liquid sulfur increases sharply at ~ 159oC
Zeolites are used as shape selective reforming catalysts.
