An example is phosphorus trichloride, PCl3.
It would be Phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl).
chlorine is the smallest in size. The order of atomic size is chlorine < sulphur < phosphorus < silicon.
Chlorine.
Chlorine
yes
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.
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.
Phosphorus is not a halogen. Only the elements of group 7 are halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine).
PCl5
Two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up PClF2.
