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

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

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