PCl3 is a chemical compound. It is made of elements P and Cl.
PCl3 is the chemical formula for phosphorous trichloride.
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.
In PCl3 there are three bonds to the central atom (P) and one lone pair.. This can be worked out as follows. P has 5 valence electrons, shares three electrons with the chorine atoms (1 each) leaving 2 electrons on the P as a lone pair. In VSEPR theory this is an AX3E compound like ammonia.
