There are 1


How many lone pairs are on the P in PCl3?

One lone pair and three bonding chlorine pairs. General shape is tetrahedral and it's a trigonal pyramidal.


What is the shape of the P atom in H2PO4?

It has 4 bonding pairs and no lone pairs so it has a tetrahedral shape.

What is the Lewis structure for PCI3?

3 Iodine atoms, each with 3 pais of electrons (6 electrons), around a Phosphorus atom with 1 lone pair of electrons (2 electrons).


In PC 1 3 how many atoms bond to the central atom and how many lone pairs are there in it?

In PCl3 there are three bonds to the central atom (P) and one lone pair.. This can be worked out as follows. P has 5 valence electrons, shares three electrons with the chorine atoms (1 each) leaving 2 electrons on the P as a lone pair. In VSEPR theory this is an AX3E compound like ammonia.


What is the expected hybridization of the central atom of ICl3?

In icl3 central atom is iodine and its valency is 7 out of 7 electrons 3 electrons are in chemical bonding so 2 lone pairs are there. Hybridization = number of sigma bonds + number of lone pairs = 3 sigma bonds + 2 lone pairs = 5 = sp3d ( 1 s + 3 P + 1 d = 5 ).

In boron haildes why BCl3 is weakest Lewis acid but BI3 is a strongest Lewis acid?

Boron is sp2 hybridised with an empty p orbital. Both chlorine and iodine have lone electron pairs of suitable symmetry to form a partial pi bond with the empty orbital of boron. This partial pi bond effect is stronger and more significant in BCl3 because there is a better energy match between the empty p of boron (LUMO) and the lone pairs of Cl (HOMO) than between boron p and the lone pairs of iodine. As a Lewis acid, boron takes an electron pair into its empty p orbital. In BCl3, the significant pi bond means that this p orbital is less electron deficient and therefore hinders the ability of the p orbital to accept an electron pair, so it is a weaker acid than BI3. Maybe consult a textbook or website for a picture to help you visualise Boron in sp2 hybridised state.


Is there a point which a prime numbers factor pairs reverse order?

A prime number, P, has only two factor pairs: (1, P) and (P, 1).
