Answer:

XY4Z2- dsp2

XY4Z- sp3d

XY5Z- sp3d2

XY2Z3- sp3d

XY2Z- sp2

XY3Z- sp3

XY2Z2- sp3

XY3Z2- sp3d

XY2 - sp

,XY3- sp2

XY4- sp3

,XY5- sp3d

XY6- sp3d2

Explanation:

In the answer box I have shown the hybridization patterns of the various arrangement of bond pairs and lone pairs.

Hybridization was put forward to explain the shapes of molecules under the valence bond theory. All molecules having the same hybridization pattern are based on the same geometry. Deviations from the expected geometry may arise due to the presence of lone pairs.

2_PCl3 + __Cl2 →<br> __PCL5<br> What is the answer
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 2 PCl3 + 2 Cl2 > 2 PCl5

Explanation: The factors will be 2 moles of PCl3 reacted to 2 moles of chlorine gas Cl2 and the reaction will produce 2 moles of Phosphorous pentachloride PCl5.

For the reactants 2PCl3 +2 Cl2 there will be 2P, Cl (2x3) +

(2x2) so chlorine will have 10. In the product side 2PCl5. 2 P and Cl will have (5x2)=10.

The chemical reaction will have a balance chemical equation.
