PCL3

PCL3

1. LEWIS STRUCTURE

2. POLARITY

   • Chlorine is more elctronegative than phosphorus . P has a lone pair of electrons , every Cl atom has three pairs of electrons . The molecule is not symmetrical . So this molecule is polar

3. PRESENCE OF LONE PAIR

   • The structure of PCl3 is a phosphorus with a lone pair (two electrons) and 3 chlorine atoms attached by a single bond where each chlorine has 3 lone pairs.

4. ELECTRONIC GEOMETRY

   • TETRAHEDRAL DUE TO THREE CHLORINE ATOMS BONDED WITH CENTRAL ATOM WHICH IS ONE PHOSPHORUS ATOM

5. MOLECULAR GEOMETRY

   • TRIGONAL PYRAMIDAL : ONE LONE PAIR ELECTRON WITH THREE BOND PAIRS FORM THIS MOLECULAR GEOMETRY

6. MODEL OF PCL3
