A group 13 element ${ }^{'}{X}^{'}$ reacts with chlorine gas to produce a compound ${\mathrm{XCl}}_{3}. {\mathrm{XCl}}_{3}$ is electron deficient and easily reacts with ${\mathrm{NH}}_{3} \mathrm{to} \mathrm{form} {\mathrm{Cl}}_{3}X\leftarrow {\mathrm{NH}}_{3}$ adduct; however, ${\mathrm{XCl}}_{3}$ does not dimerize. X is:
A white sodium salt dissolves readily in water to give a solution which is neutral to litmus. When silver nitrate solution is added to the before mentioned solution, a white precipitate is obtained which does not dissolve in dilute nitric acid. The anion is:
