Non Polar

The bonds themselves between phosphorus and chlorine are polar because chlorine is more electronegative than phosphorus. However the molecule is non polar because the five regions of electron density are the same.

Phosphorus pentabromide is considered nonpolar. Its geometry is trigonal bipyramidal without any unbound pairs, so it cannot have dipole moments.

bonds are nonpolar because the difference in electronegativity between the phospohorous & iodine atoms is less than or equal to .4 (2.5-2.1)

Yes because it is asymmetrical (trigonal pyramidal) and the central phosphorus atom has a lone pair.

It is non polar. The dipoles are spread evenly around the molecule and as such there is no dipole moment.
