If `B-Cl` bond has a dipole moment, explain why `BCl_(3)` molecule has zero dipole moment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

B-Cl bond has a certain dipole moment because it is of polar nature. But `BCl_(3)` has zero dipole moment since the molecule is symmertical (plananr) just like `BF_(3)` in which bond polarities cancel out.
