Which one of the following is the correct set with respect to molecule, hybridization and shape ?

Options

A. `BeCl_(2), sp^(2)` , linear
B. `BeCl_(2), sp^(2) `, triangular planar
C. `BCl_(3), sp^(2)` , triangular planer
D. `BCl_(3), sp^(3) `, tetrahedral

Answer

c

Explanation

`""_(5)B = 1s^(2) 2s^(2) 2P_(x)^(1)` (Ground state )
` = 1s^(2) 2s^(1) 2P_(x)^(1) 2P_(y)^(1)` (Excited state)
shape is
