`BCl_3` molecule is planar while `NCl_3` is pyramidal because

A

`BCl_3` does not have lone pair on B but `NCl_3` has on N

B

B-Cl bond is more polar than N-Cl bond

C

N atom is smaller than B

D

N-Cl bond is more covalent than B-Cl bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
B in `BCl_3` is `sp^2` hybridised while, N in `NCl^3` is `sp^3` hybridised.
