It would be Phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl).
chlorine is the smallest in size. The order of atomic size is chlorine < sulphur < phosphorus < silicon.
An example is phosphorus trichloride, PCl3.
Chlorine.
Chlorine
PCl5
Two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up PClF2.
It would be Phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl).
The oxidation no of phosphorus is +3 and that of chlorine is -1.
chlorine is the smallest in size. The order of atomic size is chlorine < sulphur < phosphorus < silicon.
An example is phosphorus trichloride, PCl3.
Chlorine.
Chlorine
2P + 5Cl2 -> 2PCL5
yes
Phosphorus reacts with chlorine to form PCl3, phosphorus trichloride PCl5, phosphorus pentachloride P2Cl4 , diphosphorus tetrachloride
The bond between phosphorus and fluorine atoms is more polar than the bond between phosphorus and chlorine atoms.
