### Select the Boron and Chlorine OrbitalsIn this activity, you will select the boron and chlorine orbitals that overlap to form each B–Cl sigma (σ) bond in boron trichloride (\( \text{BCl}_3 \)). It may be useful to consult the periodic table to understand the electron configurations of boron and chlorine.- **Boron Orbital:** [Dropdown to select orbital]- **Chlorine Orbital:** [Dropdown to select orbital]This interactive section allows you to visualize and choose the correct atomic orbitals that participate in the formation of the sigma bonds in \( \text{BCl}_3 \). Understanding the overlap of these orbitals is crucial for comprehending the molecular geometry and bonding properties of the compound.
