Is PCl6 - polar or non polar?
It is a polar molecule because it is asymmetrical and has a negative pole and a positive pole.
What is the bond angle for PCL6-?
its 90
Is phosphoroud and chlorine ionic or covalent?
The bonds between phoshorus and chlorine are covalent and polar. Solid PCl5 and PBr5 are ionic, containing polyatomic phosphorus ions PCl4+ PCl6- PBr4+ Br-
What hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorus in PCl6?
sp3d2
What is structure of pcl5 in solid state?
ionic, [PCl4]+ [PCl6]-
Is PCl6 - polar or non polar?

What hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorus in PCl6?
sp3d2
What is structure of pcl5 in solid state?
ionic, [PCl4]+ [PCl6]-
Geometry for P in PCl6-?
electron-pair geometry is octahedral with no LPs and the molecule geometry is octahedral
Why PCL5 do it dissociate topcl4and pcl6 ions in solid state?
I believe that it is ionic because PCl5 loses a Cl- ion, and you have two charged parts: PCl4+ and Cl-. wikipedia says PCl4+ PCl6- this is correct- the reason that the molecular form is not favored is probably explained by the substantial "gain" in lattice energy moving to an ionic form from a molecular form with weak intermolecular bonds. Also packing of the PCl5 molecules would be less efficient compared to that of the ionic solid with a mix of 4 and 6 coordinate species.
What kind of bond does PCl5 have?
PCl5 is covalent in the vapour phase with a trigonal biyramidal shape. It is ionic in the solid consisting of PCl4+ PCl6- In solution it can be covalent or ionic depending on the solvent.
What are the intermolecular forces in PCl5?
In the solid PCl5 is ionic PCl4+ PCl6- In the gas and liquid phases molecular PCl5 is present which does not have a permanent dipole moment. The intermolecular force is a london dispersion force.
Why is phosphorus trichloride liquid and phosphorus pentachloride solid?
Phosphorus pentachloride in the solid state exists as [PCl4+][PCl6-] so has an ionic lattice enthalpy and stronger intermolecular interaction than PCl3
Is TeF6 polar or non polar?
No its not polar
Why is the bond lengths in PCl5 unequal?
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−.
