For a molecule of Phosphorus trichloride, PCI3:

A) Draw the Lewis structure of this molecule. Using the Pauling electronegativity scale, determine which bonds are polar; show them on the structure using the S+/S- notation.

B) Is this molecule polar? Explain briefly why or why not.

C) What type of intermolecular forces should exist between two PCI3 molecules?

Solutions

Expert Solution

B) Molecule is polar , since overall all bonds polarity including lone pair effect doesnot become zero.

C) Intermolecular forces for such polar moleucles are dipole-dipole
