MCQ
Which one of the following is the correct set with respect to molecule,  hybridization  and shape?
  • A
    $BeCl_2 , sp^2$, linear
  • B
    $BeCl_2 , sp^2$ , triangular planar
  • C
    $BCl_3 , sp^2$, triangular planar
  • D
    $BCl_3 , sp^3,$ tetrahedral

Answer

In $\mathrm{BCl}_{3}$, boron is sp $^{2}$ hybridised as there are 3 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs and thus, $\mathrm{BCl}_{3}$ is triangular planar is shape.
