In a molecule of PCl3, 6 electrons will form

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

polar covalent bonds

Explanation:

Phosphorus trichloride is a chemical compound of phosphorus and chlorine, having the chemical formula PCl 3. It has a trigonal pyramidal shape, owing to the lone pairs of electrons on the phosphorus atom.

Chlorine is more elctronegative than phosphorus . Phosphorus has a lone pair of electrons and every chlorine atom has three pairs of electrons . The molecule is not symmetrical as the shared electron pairs are closer to the chlorine atoms than the phosphorus atoms , the chlorine atoms are shifted towards one side of the center of the molecule , thus a net dipole effect is created. This is the reason why the molecule is polar .

Can you show me the answer and explain?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium

Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)

Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.

This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions
