Is Pcl3 Polar Or Nonpolar
So, Is PCl3 Polar or Nonpolar? PCl3 is a polar molecule because of its tetrahedral geometrical shape having a lone pair on Phosphorus atom and the difference between the electronegativity of Chlorine(3.16) and Phosphorus(2.19) atoms resulting in unequal sharing of electrons and develop positive and negative poles across the molecule making it a polar molecule. Phosphorus trichloride has its systematic IUPAC name as Trichlorophosphane. Its other names are Phosphorus(III) chloride and Phosphorous chloride....
