QUESTION
What is the molecular shape of phosphorus trichloride (##PCl_3##)? What are the bond angles in this molecule?
Trigonal pyramid, Tetrahedral, ##107^@##.
The Lewis structure of ##PCl_3## is the following:
This is under the form of ##AX_3E## where ##X## represents the bounded groups ##Cl## and ##E## represents the lone pairs.
The geometric shape is: Trigonal pyramid
The electron-pairs arrangement is: Tetrahedral
This is similar to the ammonia molecule ##NH_3##.
The bond angle is equal to ##107^@##.
