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.

Answer:

Tissue is a group of cells.

Explanation:

Human body tissue consists of groups of cells with a similar structure working together for a specific function.

Human body tissue is another way of describing how our cells are grouped together in a highly organized manner according to specific structure and function. These groupings of cells form tissues, which then make up organs and various parts of the body. For example, it's easy to see and feel muscle in the body. Muscle is one of the four types of human body tissue. In this lesson, learn more about the types of tissue and how each functions for a different purpose.

The speed of sound depends on these two things:
IrinaVladis [17]

The speed of sound depends on these two things: The type of medium and the temperature of the medium; option a.

<h3>What is the speed of sound?</h3>

The speed of sound is the distance covered in meters over a given period of time.

Speed = distance/time

The speed of sound depends on the following:

  • temperature - the speed of sound increases with temperature
  • medium - the speed of sound increases with increase in density of the medium.

In conclusion, the speed of sound increases with temperature.
