How many pi bonds in BCl3?
2
Does BCl3 has idealized bond angle?
Yes, the bond angles are 1200, D3h symmetry
Is BCI3 polar or nonpolar bond?
The bond in boron trichloride, BCl3, is polar covalent.
Is a pi bond or a sigma bond weaker?
A pi bond is weaker than a sigma bond.
In boron haildes why BCl3 is weakest Lewis acid but BI3 is a strongest Lewis acid?
Boron is sp2 hybridised with an empty p orbital. Both chlorine and iodine have lone electron pairs of suitable symmetry to form a partial pi bond with the empty orbital of boron. This partial pi bond effect is stronger and more significant in BCl3 because there is a better energy match between the empty p of boron (LUMO) and the lone pairs of Cl (HOMO) than between boron p and the lone pairs of iodine. As a Lewis acid, boron takes an electron pair into its empty p orbital. In BCl3, the significant pi bond means that this p orbital is less electron deficient and therefore hinders the ability of the p orbital to accept an electron pair, so it is a weaker acid than BI3. Maybe consult a textbook or website for a picture to help you visualise Boron in sp2 hybridised state.

Is a pi bond equivalent to a single covalent bond?
Pi bond is present in double bonds.Sigma bond forms a single bond.
The side by side overlap of p orbitals produces what kind of bond?
pi bond
Will pcl3 have the same shape as bcl3?
No,pcl3 has one lone pair and three bonded pair , shape of trigonal pyramidal with a bond angle of 107 degrees whereas bcl3 has 3 bonded pairs and no lone pairs , shape of trigonal planar with the bond angle of 120 degrees.
A bond that is not symmetrical along the axis between two atomic nuclei is?
its the pi bond .
Which bond is more strong either sigma or pi?
A pi bond is a weaker bond as compare to sigma bond, because pi bond is formed by a minimum overlapping of the orbitals and depends upon length of sigma bond.
Does so2 no2 co2 have pi bond?
yes. all have pi bond.
