Answer::
1) Structure of PCl3:
It has a pyramidal shape as shown, in which phosphorus is sp3 hybridised.
2) Structure of PCl5:
It has a trigonal bipyramidal structure, in gaseous and liquid phases.
The three equatorial P–Cl bonds are equivalent, while the two axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds.
This is due to the axial bond pairs suffer more repulsion as compared to equatorial bond pairs
