Which one of `PCl_(4)^(+) & PCl_4^-` is not likely to exist and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two species, \( PCl_4^+ \) or \( PCl_4^- \), is not likely to exist, we can analyze the electronic configuration and oxidation states of phosphorus in each case. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Atomic Number and Configuration of Phosphorus**: - Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15. - Its electronic configuration is \( 2, 8, 5 \). This means phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. ...
