Question

explain why PCl5 is non polar while PCl3 is polar​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: in pcl5 the p contains 5 valence electrons and 5 are in the bondformation so dipole movement is zero. It is non polar

In pcl3 only 3 valence electrons are in the bond formation so dipole movement is not equals to zero

Therefore pcl3 is polar
