The molecule is unstable and impossible to create the PCl_6
Only one way is that change the formula
Lets look at structure(See attachment)
There are total 7atoms
Answer is: group 17 on the periodic table.
Group 17 (halogens) elements are: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I).
They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.
Fluorine and chlorine are in gaseous state, bromine is liquid and iodine is in solid state in room temperature.
Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.
For example, fluorine has 9 electrons and it gain easily one electron in chemical reaction to have electron configuration like noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
The axial positions the bond angle is 120 degrees and in equatorial positions the bond angle is 90 degrees.
Functional groups on central atom gets reduce if lone pairs are added.
Explanation:
The number of lone pairs and base pairs of electrons tells the geometry of the molecule.
VSEPR Theory helps to know the lone pairs and bond pair electrons on the centre atom of the molecule.
Example of molecule containing 5 electron pairs can have four bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
eg: Cl
the repulsion is shown as
lp-lp> lp-bp>bp-bp
These are in equatorial position because of the repulsion of lone pairs.
It can have 2 lone pairs and 3 bond pairs. eg. Xe
Lone pairs in this is also in equatorial position as
lp-lp> lp-bp> bp-bp
In axial positions the bond angle is 120 degrees
in equatorial positions the bond angle is 90 degrees, due to the repulsion in lone pair of electrons.
If 1 lone pair is there it can be replaced by bonding with hydrogen.
If 2 lone pairs are there then bonding with oxygen is there. The covalent bond is formed.
