Draw the structures of BCl_{3}.NH_{3} and AlCl_{3} (dimer)

Answers (1)

BCl_{3} is the covalent compound which has 6 electrons in the valence shell. Thus it is an electron acceptor and needs 2 electrons to become an octet. It is a Lewis acid and can react with NH_{3}  as it donates electrons easily and is a Lewis Base. They combine as shown 

 

In AlCl_{3} , Al has 6 electrons in the valance shell and functions similarly as B and thus combines with Chlorine to form an octet.
