Want this question answered?
NCl5 does not exist bcoz nitrogen atom does not have d-orbitals to accomodate electrons from chlorine atoms and nitrogen cant accomodate more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. so its covalency exists only upto four.... pcl5 exists bcoz phosphorus atom has vacant d orbitals to accomodate electrons and thus pcl5 exists
Yes, PCl5 is a binary molecular compound.
experimental of reaction between pyridine and PCl5
Phosphorus pentachloride is a chemical compound with the formula PCl5.
The reaction will proceed to the left. PCl5 will be formed. PCl3 will be consumed.
The fact that NCl5 does not exist might come into play. Think about it. NCl5 does not exist

not necessarily. if the individual dipoles cancel off, then the molecule will be non-polar. As in CCl4, PCl5 etc
PCL5 is formed two types of P-CL bond, equitorial and axial bonds. The axial bonds suffer more repulsion than the equitorial bonds, and they can easily break, which makes PCL5 unstable. SF6 is largely inert due to steric hindrance.
PCl5 Phosphorous pentachlorideP for Phosphorous and 5 Cl for chloride= PCl5 College Chemistry student
5, that's what Cl5 (usually written w/ a subscript) means
Phosphorus pentachloride (PCL5)
The name of the compound PCl5 is phosphorus pentachloride.
The structures for the phosphorus chlorides are invariably consistent with VESPER theory. The structure of PCl5 depends on its environment. Gaseous and molten PCl5 is a neutral molecule with trigonal bipyramidal . The hypeRVALENT nature of this species can be explained with three-center four-electron bonding model. This trigonal bipyramidal structure persists in non-polar solvents, such as CS2 and CCl4.In the solid state PCl5 is ionic, formulated PCl4+ PCl6−.
PCl5 -----> PCl3 + Cl2
It has 6 atoms in one molecule. They are 1P and 5 Chlorines.
Yes, PCl5 is a binary molecular compound.
