    The molecule of\[BC{{l}_{3}}\]is planar while the molecule of\[NC{{l}_{3}}\]is pyramidal because

    A) \[N-Cl\] bond is more covalent than\[B-Cl\] bond

    B)  the atom of nitrogen is smaller than boron

    C) \[B-Cl\]bond is more polar than\[N-Cl\]bond

    D)  in\[BC{{l}_{3}}\]unpaired electron pair is not present while in\[NC{{l}_{3}}\]a unpaired electron pair is present.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In\[BC{{l}_{3}}\]unpaired electron pair is not present in boron and\[BC{{l}_{3}}\]is in\[s{{p}_{2}}\]hybridised state hence it is a planar molecule while in\[NC{{l}_{3}},\]unpaired electron pair is present in nitrogen and it is in \[s{{p}_{3}}\]hybridised state hence its structure is pyramidal.
