Bridge bonds are weaker than terminal bonds hence they have larger bond length than terminal bond length. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-tevkeiguenj2awlh.jpg" />

Q. $A lC l_{3}$ form a dimer as

What is the correct relationship between $x, y$ and $z$ bond lengths?

$x > y > z$

$y > z > x$

$z = y > x$

$z = y = x$

Bridge bonds are weaker than terminal bonds hence they have larger bond length than terminal bond length.

Q. AlCl3​ form a dimer as What is the correct relationship between x,y and z bond lengths?

x>y>z

y>z>x

z=y>x
