Which statement is/are correct about \[\text{IC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\] molecule

A)  All I-Cl bonds are equivalent

B)  Molecule is polar and non-planar

C)  All adjacent bond angles are equal

D)  All hybrid orbitals of central atom having equal s-character

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

\[({{\mu }_{D}}\ne 0)\]                 \[x>y\] Molecule is polar and planar. Both \[\angle ClI\,Cl\] are equal Equatorial\[I-\,Cl\]bond has more s-character than axial \[I-\,Cl\]bond.
