Answer:
Phosphorus Trichloride is more stable than Phosphorus pentachloride because PCl5 has a higher saturation (triagonal bipyramidal shape and sp3d2 hybridisation) than PCl3 (triagonal planar structure and sp3 hybridisation). In pcl5 two axial bonds are longer than three equitorial bonds (length of axial bond bond 240 pm) axial bond pair are severely strained as combined with curriculum bonuses. ... so pcl5 is more effective than pcl3.
