Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

In Al₂Cl₆, each aluminum atom is sp³ hybridized, creating a dimer structure where two tetrahedra share a common edge through two bridging chlorine atoms, making statement (B) correct. The terminal Al–Cl bonds are shorter and stronger than the bridging Al–Cl bonds because the bridge involves coordinate bonding, which invalidates statement (C). Since there are exactly four identical terminal bonds and four identical (but longer) bridge segments, statement (D) is also correct.
