BCl3 is a planar molecule, while NCl3 is pyramidal, because

  • N-Cl bond is more covalent than B-Cl bond

  • nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom

  • B-Cl bond is more polar than NCl bond

  • BCl3 has no lone pair of electrons but NCl3 has a lone pair of electrons.


B.

nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom

D.

BCl3 has no lone pair of electrons but NCl3 has a lone pair of electrons.

BCl3 has trigonal planar structure due to 3 bond pairs in the valence shell of boron where as NCl3 has distorted tetrahedral structure due to one lone pair and three bond pair in the valence shell of nitrogen.
