97. One might expect PCl3 to have a trigonal planar molecular geometry since its central atom is surrounded by three
outer atoms. However, PCl3 has a trigonal pyramidal geometry. Explain.
ANSWER: The shape of a molecule is dependent upon the number of electron-pairs surrounding the central
atom. The phosphorus atom in PCl3 has four electron-pairs which are distributed around the
phosphorus atom in a tetrahedral geometry. Thus, the bond angles are approximately 109°, not
120°.
