Hello mate here is your answer ✌️
The Lewis structure of BCl3 is given below. BCl3 has 3 B-Cl single bonds and no lone pair around B, hence 6 valence electrons around B. As per VSEPR notation, this molecule takes AX3 notation. The geometry of BCl3 is trigonal planar. ... The geometry of AlCl3 is trigonal planar.
