Answer:

There is a theoretical reason (VSEPR) for PCl5 to be non-polar. The electron pairs in the five P-Cl bonds repel each other (while being attracted to the phosphorus nucleus). ... For a contrast, consider PCl3, which has a trigonal pyramid geometry (with a lone pair on the phosphorus atom) according to VSEPR theory.
