Question

Draw structure and write geometry of pcl3 And pcl5​

Answer 1

Answer:

pcl5 have a trigonal bipyramidal structure . ... hence in pcl5 the electron pair is 5 , so, the bond pair is also 5 . 2- in pcl3 , the electron pair is 3 and bond pair is 3 and it has 1 loan pair electron it have sp3 hybridisation . so, this suggest the trigonal pyramidal shape
