Phosphorus trichloride (POCl3) has one lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom.
POCl3 is a covalent molecule. It is composed of nonmetal atoms (phosphorus, oxygen, and chlorine) that share electrons to form covalent bonds.
See the link below.
POCl3 is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between phosphorus, oxygen, and chlorine atoms, resulting in a molecule with covalent bonds.
The bond angle in POCl3 is approximately 107 degrees. This can be explained by the molecule's structure, which is trigonal pyramidal with one lone pair of electrons on the central phosphorus atom, causing some compression of the bond angles.
The VSEPR model is used mainly to determine molecular shape.
In VSEPR theory, the "a" stands for the number of atoms bonded to the central atom. It helps determine the molecular geometry by considering the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
VSEPR is a conceptual model, as it has not been directly observed.
D. FCl3 has a VSEPR formula of AXËÄ. This notation indicates the molecular geometry and electron pair arrangement around the central atom. In this case, FCl3 has a trigonal bipyramidal shape with 3 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs around the central atom.
To balance the redox reaction involving H2O, Cl2, P4, POCl3, and HCl, you need to first assign oxidation numbers to each element and then balance the atoms and charges. The balanced equation is: 4 H2O + 6 Cl2 + P4 -> 4 H3PO4 + 6 POCl3 + 4 HCl.
