The outer electrons of As is 5, and there are 3 bonded Cl's. this makes the * electrons for the octet rule to be obeyed. therefore AsCl3 will bond with one lone pair, thus the bond angle will deviate from the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.50. VSEPR theory predicts that lone-pair bonding pair repusions are stronger than bondonding pair- bonding pair repulsions and the bond angle is predicted to be less than 109.50. the actual bond angle is around 980

natural.
The atoms at either end of the bond have less than 5% ionic character. Most commonly the atoms are the same element, like O2 .
I Believe The Answer Is Natural, But I Am Not Sure...
A shape with 5 angles has 5 sides, always. Pentagons have 5 sides, and 5 angles.
There are 5 angles.
no it has 5 sides and 5 angles .
pant
There are 5 angles in a polygon with 5 sides.
5 sides and 5 angles
it has 5 sides and 5 angles
A pentagon has 5 sides and 5 angles.

M
a pretty wierd shape
5 angles
