incomplete octet molecule

explanation

see from the attachment ,. Al has got only 6 electron after sharing . means it has incomplete octet

Answer 2

Answer:

AlCl3 is an example of incomplete octet molecule.

Explanation:

• AlCl₃ is an exception to octet rule as it is an electron deficient compound and its octet is incomplete due to which it appears as Al₂Cl₆, to get stability.
• Aluminum chloride (AlCl3) is a Lewis acid since an open valence shell is found in the aluminium atom.
• An atom, ion, or molecule with an incomplete electron octet may be known as Lewis acid (e.g., BF₃, AlF₃) (e.g., SiBr₄, SiF₄).
