Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the type of bond found in BCl3 (boron trichloride). It is likely aimed at understanding whether the bonds are ionic, covalent, polar, or nonpolar based on the electronegativity of the elements involved.
Answer
covalent or molecular
The final answer is covalent or molecular.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is covalent or molecular.
More Information
Boron Trichloride (BCl3) forms covalent bonds because boron and chlorine are both non-metals and they share electrons to form the bond.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume BCl3 might have ionic bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between boron and chlorine.
