Yes, the bond between phosphorus and chloride in a molecule like phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) is covalent. This means that the atoms share electron pairs to form the bond.
depends which chloride you're on about...phosphorus penta chloride is PCl5 whereas phosphorus trichloride is PCl3
Phosphorus pentoxide is a covalent bond, not a ionic. -Emiko Bunny
No, phosphorus trifluoride is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between phosphorus and fluorine atoms forming covalent bonds.
Phosphorous trisulfide (PS3) is a covalent compound.
im Pretty sure its covalent. if its not im screwed
In PCl3 and PCl5 there is covalent bonding.

No, phosphorus trifluoride is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between phosphorus and fluorine atoms forming covalent bonds.
Phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) is not a conductor of electricity because it is a covalent compound with no free-moving ions or electrons to carry an electric current. It is a nonpolar molecule and does not dissociate into ions in solution.
See the links for a summary of naming covalent and ionic compounds. Actually contrary to what these links say the method of bonding does not actualy affect the way compounds are named. Lets take to simple examples, FeCl3 and PCl3 the first ionic and the second covalent. Iron trichloride, could be called iron(III) chloride (historically called ferric chloride) Phosphorus trichloride could be called phosphorus(III) chloride, or even trichloridophosphane following latest IUPAC definition.
Yes, phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) is a covalent compound, as it is composed of nonmetals (phosphorus and chlorine), which typically form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Yes, phosphorus trioxide (P4O6) is a covalent compound. It is composed of phosphorus and oxygen atoms that share electrons through covalent bonds.
Phosphorous trisulfide (PS3) is a covalent compound.
im Pretty sure its covalent. if its not im screwed
Yes, phosphorus fluoride forms a covalent bond. In phosphorus fluoride compounds, phosphorus and fluorine atoms share electron pairs to form covalent bonds.
Yes, phosphorus trifluoride (PF3) is a covalent compound. It consists of phosphorus and fluorine atoms bonded together by sharing electrons. This type of bonding is characteristic of covalent compounds.
