Is it wrong to think that the structure of BF3 is a resonance hybrid of one double bind and two single bonds which makes all the B-F equal?

[@MAC-vi7fy]

I think it is. BF3 as far as I know is a lewis acid. We need to fill the empty p orbital to get a pi bond which will make it sp2 hybridized but however it cannot show resonance hybrid structures as it's hybrids won't be stable due to absence of vacant d orbital.

[@retromansion]

If you can rotate them, shouldn't they be regarded as the same structure?

[@gautamgopal3517]

Had the same doubt but then, you realise that they are still different when you take the perspective of the sigma bond...If we don't consider that extra structure, then that sigma bond won't have a partial double bond cgharecter.
