Answer:
In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.
Hybridization of BCl3 (Boron Trichloride)
The type of hybridization that occurs in BCl3 is sp2 hybridization. In BCl3 molecule, boron will be the central atom which contains three bonded atoms but no lone pair of electrons. Its steric number is also said to be 3.
Name of the Molecule: Boron Trichloride
Hybridization Type: sp2
Bond Angle: 120o
Geometry: Trigonal Planar
