Phosphorus has 5 free bonding electrons. In PCl3, three of which bond to chlorine covalently this will give rise to a Pyramidal atomic arrangement even though its electronic arrangement is Tetrahedral. This Pyramidal Structure occurs due to the lone pair of electrons found on the Phosphorus. This will be the same type of bonding as in NH3 (ammonia). The only difference will be due to the larger size of phosphorus which will vary the bond angles. In NH3 the bond angles are of 107.5Degrees, in PCl3 the bond angles are slightly larger; approximately 109Degrees.

I can't show all the dots using a computer. There should be 2 between the top Cl and P and 2 between the lower Cl and P and the end Cl should have 2 aove it and 2 below it. The top Cl also needs 2 aove it and the bottom Cl needs 2 below it.

P in the middle with three cl's surrounding it and a lone pair on p i think
PCl3 + H2O  H3PO3 + 3HCl
The vapor pressure of PCl3 at 298K is approximately 52.8 mmHg.
Hydrogen chloride: R-OH+PCl3=R-Cl+H3PO3+HCl
PCl3 is not an atom, it is a molecule that is comprised of one phosphorus atom and three chlorine atoms. If you wish to learn more about it, this is the link to it's wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_trichloride Hope that helps

PCL3
PCl3 is the chemical symbol for phosphorous trichloride.
PCl3 is the chemical formula for phosphorous trichloride.
PCl3 + H2O  H3PO3 + 3HCl
PCl3 =)
PCl3 is a chemical compound. It is made of elements P and Cl.
No, PCL3 bonds covalently. Hope this helps :)
In the presence of moisture pcl3 undergoes hydrolysis giving fumes of hcl.
20.4 MOLES OF PCl3
yes.
Pcl3 + 3h2o-------> h3po3 + 3 hcl
