Which of the following is a correct set with respect to molecule, hybridization, and shape?A. `BeCl_2, sp^2`, linearB. `BeCl_2, sp^2`, triangularC. `BCl_3, sp^3`, triangular planarD. `BCl_3, sp^3`, tetrahedral

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The steric number of `Be` in `BeCl_2` is `2(2+0)`. Therefore, it is linear with `sp` hybridization. The steric number of `B` in `BCl_3` is `3(3+0)`. Therefore, it is trigonal planar with `sp^2` hybridization.
