    \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]is a planar molecule whereas\[NC{{l}_{3}}\]is pyramidal because                    

    A)  \[BC{{l}_{3}}\] is a planar molecule whereas \[NC{{l}_{3}}\] has a lone pair of electrons

    B)  \[B-Cl\]bond is more polar than\[N-Cl\]bond

    C)  nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom

    D)  N-Cl bond is more covalent than \[B-Cl\] bond

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In \[BC{{l}_{3}},B\]is \[s{{p}^{2}}-\]hybridised and no lone pair on B-atom. But in \[NC{{l}_{3}}\,N\]is \[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridised with one lone pair of electron. \[\therefore \]\[BC{{l}_{3}}\] is a planar molecule and\[NC{{l}_{3}}\]is pyramidal,
