BCl 3 exists as monomer whereas AlCl 3 is dimerized through halogen bridging. Give reason. Explain the structure of the dimer of AlCl 3 also.

Options

  1. ABCl 3 has a smaller size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a bridged structu
  2. BBCl 3 has a larger size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a bridged structur
  3. CBCl 3 has a smaller size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a linear structur
  4. DBCl 3 has a larger size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a linear structure

Correct answer

A. BCl 3 has a smaller size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a bridged structu

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) BCl 3 has a smaller size than AlCl 3 , leading to monomer formation. The dimer of AlCl 3 has a bridged structure.
