  • question_answer
    \[\text{BC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]is a planar molecule, while \[\text{NC}{{\text{l}}_{3}}\]is pyramidal, because

    A)  \[NCl\] bond is more covalent than \[BCl\] bond

    B)  nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom

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

    D)  \[\text{BC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]has no lone pair of electrons but \[NC{{l}_{3}}\] has a lone pair of electrons

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     \[\text{BC}{{\text{l}}_{3}}\]has trigonal planar structure due to 3 bond pairs in the valence shell of boron where as \[\text{NC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\]has distorted tetrahedral structure due to one lone pair and three bond pair in the valence shell of nitrogen.
