One lone pair and three bonding chlorine pairs. General shape is tetrahedral and it's a trigonal pyramidal.
What else can I help you with?
In PC 1 3 how many atoms bond to the central atom and how many lone pairs are there in it?
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.
How many bonding groups are found in PCl3?
There are three bonding groups found in PCl3, which consist of three P-Cl bonds.
What is the shape of the P atom in H2PO4?
It has 4 bonding pairs and no lone pairs so it has a tetrahedral shape.
What is the electron dot-structure for PCl3?
Phosphorus has 5 free bonding electrons. In PCl3, three of which bond to chlorine covalently this will give rise to a Pyramidal atomic arrangement even though its electronic arrangement is Tetrahedral. This Pyramidal Structure occurs due to the lone pair of electrons found on the Phosphorus. This will be the same type of bonding as in NH3 (ammonia). The only difference will be due to the larger size of phosphorus which will vary the bond angles. In NH3 the bond angles are of 107.5Degrees, in PCl3 the bond angles are slightly larger; approximately 109Degrees. -Solange Mizzi
P and cl react to form?
When Phosphorus (P) and Chlorine (Cl) react, they form phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) or phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5), depending on the ratio of the elements present. These compounds are important in various chemical reactions and are used in the synthesis of other chemicals.

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.
How many lone pairs of electrons are on the P atom in PF3?
There are 1
Which out of the two following molecules is trigonal planar shape NF3 or PCL3?
NF3 has a trigonal planar molecular shape due to its three bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons around the central nitrogen atom. In contrast, PCl3 has a trigonal pyramidal molecular shape because it has three bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons around the central phosphorus atom.
Is Pcl3 a element?
PCl3 is a chemical compound. It is made of elements P and Cl.
PCl3 polar or non polar?
PCl3 has a pyramidal geometry, with three polar P-Cl bonds and one lone pair of electrons. Hence the molecule is polar.
How many bonding groups are found in PCl3?
There are three bonding groups found in PCl3, which consist of three P-Cl bonds.
How many lone pairs are in NCl3?
1
How do lone pairs in p orbitals affect the molecular geometry of a compound?
Lone pairs in p orbitals can affect the molecular geometry of a compound by influencing the bond angles and overall shape of the molecule. The presence of lone pairs can cause repulsion between electron pairs, leading to distortions in the molecule's geometry. This can result in deviations from the ideal bond angles predicted by the VSEPR theory, ultimately affecting the overall shape of the molecule.
How many lone pairs of electrons are around the central atom in PCl3?
Zero
What is the binary covalent compound formula of phosphorus trichloride?
PCl3 =)
What is the Lewis structure for PCI3?
3 Iodine atoms, each with 3 pais of electrons (6 electrons), around a Phosphorus atom with 1 lone pair of electrons (2 electrons).
What is the shape of the P atom in H2PO4?
It has 4 bonding pairs and no lone pairs so it has a tetrahedral shape.
