Question

give the structure of boron trichloride.​

Answer 1

Production and structure

Boron reacts with halogens to give the corresponding trihalides. Boron trichloride is, however, produced industrially by direct chlorination of boron oxide and carbon at 501 °C. ... BCl3 is a trigonal planar molecule like the other boron trihalides, and has a bond length of 175pm.
