Which of the following option is incorrect for the bonding in is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

In Al₂Cl₆, two AlCl₃ units are joined by two bridging Cl atoms.

Each bridge forms a 3-center–4-electron (3c–4e) bond, so Statement A is correct.

The molecule is non-polar overall because of its symmetrical structure, so Statement B/D is correct.

In the bridge bond, the orbitals involved are sp³–p–sp³, not sp³–s–sp³, because the bridging Cl contributes a p-orbital/lone pair.
