BCl3 is a planar molecule, while NCl3 is pyramidal, because:
- N-Cl bond is more covalent than B-Cl bond
- nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom
- B-Cl bond is more polar than N-Cl bond
- BCl3 has no lone pair of electrons but NCl3 has a lone pair of electrons
Answer
(D) BCl 3 has no lone pair of electrons but NCl 3 has a lone pair of electrons
