It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.

A runner travels at a constant speed of 4 m/s. What happens to the velocity of the runner when the runner changes direction?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

4m/s in the direction of the turn

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference.

Assuming the runner stays the same speed as he turns, his velocity will be 4m/s in the speed he turns.

Which statement is NOT true of molecular orbitals: Select one
trapecia [35]

Answer:

A: Antibonding molecular orbitals are higher in energy than all of the bonding molecular orbitals.

Explanation:

Molecular  orbital theory describes <u>covalent bonds in terms of molecular orbitals</u>, which  result from interaction of the atomic orbitals of the bonding atoms and are associated  with the entire molecule.

A bonding molecular orbital has lower  energy and greater stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed. An  antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy and lower stability than the  atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

Electrons in the antibonding molecular orbital have  higher energy (and less stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms. On the  other hand, electrons in the bonding molecular orbital have less energy (and hence  greater stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms.

n a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the ________, while the antibonding
Kruka [31]

Answer:

In a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the valence band, while the antibonding orbitals that are completely empty are referred to as the conduction band.

The conduction band occupies a higher energy level than the valence band. The band gap is what separates the two orbitals.
