Question #23804
which hybridiazation in becl3 and why?answer the question in 50 words
Expert's answer
BCl3 (B2Cl6) is sp2 hybridized.
It has the electron deficient exception to the octet rule. In B2Cl6 the lackof electrons forces two of the chlorines into 3-center bonds where three atomic orbitals overlap and there are 2 electrons are in a B-Cl-B bond.
