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 orbital?s of central atom having equal s-character

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

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