Q12.

(a)     Correct diagram of NH3 including LP on N

1

Correct diagram of AlCl3

1

Bond angles in range 106-108° and bond angle of 120°

1

(b)     Dative (covalent) /co-ordinate bond

Wrong bond CE=0 but mark on if covalent quoted

1

Shared pair of / both electrons come from the N(H3)

1

(c)     Aluminium is now surrounded by 4 electron pairs/bonds or is tetrahedral

Independent

1

Therefore Cl-Al-Cl bond angle decreases / changes
(from 120° in AlCl3 ) to allow range 107-111° in H3NAlCl3
