Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) AlCH33 has the three-centre two-electron bonds in its dimeric structure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv) Lewis acidic strength decreases down the group. The decrease in acid strength occurs because as size increases, the attraction between the incoming electron pair and the nucleus weakens.
Hence Lewis acidic strength of BCl3 is more than AlCl3.
