∙ 10y agoPCl3 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 + H2O  H3PO3 + 3HCl
Valence is the number of bonds to other atoms. It is not always numerically equal to the oxidation number.The valence of phosphorus in PCl3 is 3; of P in PCl5 is 5; of P in H3PO4 is 5 (one of the bonds to oxygen is P=O).
The vapor pressure of PCl3 at 298K is approximately 52.8 mmHg.
Hydrogen chloride: R-OH+PCl3=R-Cl+H3PO3+HCl
PCl3 has a pyramidal geometry, with three polar P-Cl bonds and one lone pair of electrons. Hence the molecule is polar.
BCl3 is non-polar. The B-Cl bonds are polar but the molecule is not. You should review shapes of molecules. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, VSEPR. Applying VSEPR on BCl3, we can find out that the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar. Due to its geometry, the bonds cancel out.
Yes, it is polar like PCl3, AsCl3 or NCl3.
yes.
No, PCL3 bonds covalently. Hope this helps :)
It is polar, not polor.
PCl3 is polar because it has a lone pair on the P.

B forms 3 bonds (has 3 valence electrons) and is sp2 hybridized, so the molecule is trigonal planar, which is symmetrical. P can form 5 bonds (has 5 valence electrons), and in PCl3 has a free electron pair which makes the molecule non-symmetrical.
No, PCl3 has covalent bonds. The difference in electronegativity between P and Cl is not large enough. The electronegativity of P is 2.19 and for Cl it is 3.16, and so the difference is less than one, making it a polar-covalent bond.For more information, see the Related Questions link about how to determine if a bond is non-polar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic.
The phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) has a molecule with a trigonal pyramidal form.
PCl3 has a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry, and is, therefore, polar because the dipoles do not cancel.
