MHT CET 2023 Chemistry question
What is the geometry of PCl molecule as per VSEPR?
Answer: (A)
Solution
In PCl the central P atom has 5 bond pairs and no lone pair, so the electron-pair arrangement (and the molecular shape) is trigonal bipyramidal (), with three equatorial P–Cl bonds at 120° and two axial bonds at 90°
