Answer:
Step 1: Connect the atoms with single bonds. The less electronegative is the phosphorous atom. Hence, the P atom is going to be the central atom. Recall that electronegativity decreases as we move away from the fluorine atom in the periodic chart.Step 2: Calculate the # of electrons in π bonds (multiple bonds) using formula (1):
Where n in this case is 5. Where V = (7 +5 + 7 + 6 + 7 ) = 32 , V is the number of valence electrons of the POCl3.molecule.
Therefore, P = 6n + 2 – V = 6 * 5 + 2 – 32 = 0 So, there is no double bond.Step 3 & 4: The resonance electron dot structures of POCl3 are as follows.
