The BONDS in PCl5 are POLAR because of Chlorine's greater electronegativity compared to Phosphorus.. However, the entire molecule is NONPOLAR because the Chlorine's are arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal form with no unpaired electrons on the Central P, thus the Chlorine's share the electrons equally.
No it's symmetrical. Its structure is a trigonal bypyramid with Bromine atoms in the axial position and the three chlorines in the equatorial position. The linear Br-P-Br ensures cancellation of P-Br dipoles, and the planar triangle arrangement of the three equatorial Chlorines around the P ensures again the cancellation of P-Cl dipoles.
Phosphorus Trichloride is a polar covalent.
Phosphorus trichloride is an exceptional compound which shows considerable ionic behavior.
The bond P-Cl is a polar covalent bond.
yes
yes
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
nonpolar!
No,bonds are polar.But molecule is non polar.
No, it is non-polar.
it is nonpolar since C-H bonds are considered a nonpolar bond

strictly polar
nonpolar!
No,bonds are polar.But molecule is non polar.
Yes, a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it. if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar.
No, it is non-polar.
it is nonpolar since C-H bonds are considered a nonpolar bond
Yes it can
polar and nonpolar
Bonds between carbon and hydrogen are non-polar.
nonpolar
Polar. I just answered this question on Mastering chemistry.
