2F.7

Identify the hybrid orbitals used by the atom in boldface red type in each of the following species a) BF3. I know that part of the answer is Bsp^2 ---- F, but how do you figure out what orbital F is? Would it just be F2p?

I believe so. We only learned that the central atom has hybridized orbitals, so I'd assume that F has it's normal 2p valence orbitals.
