Question

Numbers of valency electrons in PCl5

Answer 1

Answer:

40 valence electrons

There are a total of 40 valence electrons in the PCl5 Lewis structure. Remember when you draw the Lewis structure for PCl5 that Phosphorous (P) is in Period 3 on the Periodic table. This means that it can hold more than 8 valence electrons.

Hope it helps~
