Explanation:
Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has covalent bonds where boron shares three electrons with three fluorine atoms. Although BF₃ can accept a lone pair to form coordinate bonds (as in BF₄⁻), its own bonds are polar covalent. Ionic bonding occurs between metal and non-metal.
Explanation:
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂↑. Magnesium displaces hydrogen from acid. This is a single displacement and redox reaction. Copper does not react similarly.
