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:
Alkaline earth metals
Explanation:
Group 2 has 2 valence electrons that they lose when being ionized, thus making their charge 2+.
Explanation:
using Boyles law: which shows the relationship between pressure and volume, when temperature Is kept constant
P1V1 = P2V2
2 x 7.2 = 0.5 x V2
14.4 = 0.5 x V2
V2 = 14.4/0.5 = 28.8 L
Hence the new size of the balloon in litres is 28.8
Deutirium is the name of H-2 isotope
