$BCl_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In $BCl_3$,the central Boron atom has only $6$ valence electrons in its valence shell after forming three covalent bonds with Chlorine atoms.Since it has fewer than $8$ electrons,it is considered an electron-deficient compound (hypovalent).In $PCl_3$,$P$ has $8$ electrons (octet complete).In $PCl_5$,$P$ has $10$ electrons (expanded octet).In $NH_3$,$N$ has $8$ electrons (octet complete).

Which of the following compounds is electron-deficient?
