What is the name of the compound with the formula Pl3?

It would be phosphorus (I) iodide. However, this is not a stable compound; under normal conditions phosphorus and iodine combine to produce phosphorus (III) iodide (which is also not stable ... it's explosive ... but is considerably more stable than phosphorus (I) iodide is). The electron configuration of the phosphorus in PI3 is [Ne]s2, while that of PI is [Ne]s2p2. The filled s subshell is at least metastable, while a filled s subshell plus a partially filled p subshell is normally not and requires considerable effort to maintain.


Does phosphorus triiodide have ionic or covalent bonds?

I think it's covalent as the the two elements are both nonmetallic.


What happens when you mix phosphorus triiodide and water?

Phosphorus triiodide reacts violently with water, so the reaction is exothermic. If a large amount of phosphorus triiodide is mixed, an explosion will most likely occur. If it is a small amount, then it will be similar to the reaction of potassium with water.
