Question

explain the geometry of the pcl3 molecule and account for its high reactivity​

Answer 1

Answer The electron arrangement in compounds is determined by the Lewis structure of the compound. From the Lewis structure, we can use the electron pair arrangement around the central atom to predict the molecular geometry of the compound.

Answer 2

Answer:

Phosphorus trichloride :

• is a chemicalcompound of phosphorus and chlorine, having the chemical formula PCl3. It is a toxic and volatile liquid which reacts violently with water to release HCl gas.
• It has a trigonal pyramidal shape, owing to the lone pairs on the phosphorus.
• It is an important industrial chemical, being used for the manufacture of phosphites and other organophosphorus compounds for a wide variety of applications.
• It has a 31P NMR signal at around +220 ppm with reference to a phosphoric acid standard.
