Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the molecular geometry

BCl3 has a trigonal planar molecular geometry. The molecule is symmetrical.

Step 2: Determine the polarity

Due to the symmetrical geometry, the dipole moments of the B-Cl bonds cancel out, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.

Step 3: Identify the intermolecular forces

Since BCl3 is nonpolar, the only intermolecular forces present are London Dispersion Forces. All molecules exhibit London Dispersion Forces. Permanent dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding only occur in polar molecules.

Final Answer:

Dispersion Forces
