Aluminum trichloride (AlCl3) is an electron-deficient molecule. It has a tendency to form a dimer (a molecule made up of two AlCl3 units), Al2Cl6. (a) Draw a Lewis structure for the dimer, (b) Describe the hybridization of Al in AlCl3, and in Al2Cl6. (c) Sketch the geometry of the dimer, (d) Do either of these molecules possess a dipole moment?
