why is electronegativity of phosphorus in PCl3 less than that in PF3?

Answers

Answered by humaidafridi18

Answer:

Both the compound are pyramidal in shape along a lone pair electron on central atom P. ... So the bond pair electron moves more towards the P in case of PCl3 . So for PCl3 the bond pair electrons experience greater repulsion that's why its bond angle is greater than PF3.
