Question

Determine the number of valence electrons in pcl₃ and then draw the corresponding lewis structure.

Answer 1

The number of valence electrons in $PCl_{5}$ will be 26.

The atom's outermost inhabited shell is where valence electrons are found. They are significant because they have a major impact on how an atom's chemical characteristics are determined.

The number of valence electron in P in 5 and number of valence electron in Cl is 7. There are one molecule of P and three molecule of Cl in  $PCl_{5}$  molecule. By adding all valence electrons , the total number of valance electrons will be 26.

The Lewis structure of  $PCl_{5}$  is shown as:

Therefore, the number of valence electrons in $PCl_{5}$ will be 26.
