Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw the structure of PCl₅ and explain its ionic nature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Molecular Geometry of PCl₅ PCl₅, or phosphorus pentachloride, has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry. This means that the phosphorus atom is at the center, with five chlorine atoms surrounding it. **Hint:** Remember that the central atom in a trigonal bipyramidal structure has two types of positions: axial (180° apart) and equatorial (120° apart). ### Step 2: Drawing the Structure ...
