PCL3
LEWIS STRUCTURE
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
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.
ELECTRONIC GEOMETRY
- TETRAHEDRAL DUE TO THREE CHLORINE ATOMS BONDED WITH CENTRAL ATOM WHICH IS ONE PHOSPHORUS ATOM
MOLECULAR GEOMETRY
- TRIGONAL PYRAMIDAL : ONE LONE PAIR ELECTRON WITH THREE BOND PAIRS FORM THIS MOLECULAR GEOMETRY
