The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation. The reaction of phosphorus (P₄) with thionyl chloride (SOCl₂) can be represented as follows: \[ \text{P}_4 + 4 \text{SOCl}_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 4 \text{PCl}_3 + 2 \text{SO}_2 + 2 \text{S}_2\text{Cl}_2 \] ### Step 2: Identify the products. From the balanced equation, the products are: 1. Phosphorus trichloride (PCl₃) 2. Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) 3. Disulfur dichloride (S₂Cl₂) ### Step 3: Determine the molecular geometry and polarity of each product. #### Product 1: PCl₃ - **Valence Electrons**: Phosphorus has 5, and each chlorine has 7 (total of 21 from 3 chlorines). - **Total Valence Electrons**: 5 + 21 = 26 - **Lewis Structure**: PCl₃ has a trigonal pyramidal shape due to one lone pair on phosphorus. - **Hybridization**: sp³ (3 sigma bonds + 1 lone pair). - **Polarity**: The molecule is polar due to the asymmetrical shape and the presence of a lone pair. #### Product 2: SO₂ - **Valence Electrons**: Sulfur has 6, and each oxygen has 6 (total of 12 from 2 oxygens). - **Total Valence Electrons**: 6 + 12 = 18 - **Lewis Structure**: SO₂ has a bent shape due to one lone pair on sulfur. - **Hybridization**: sp² (2 sigma bonds + 1 lone pair). - **Polarity**: The molecule is polar due to the bent shape. #### Product 3: S₂Cl₂ - **Valence Electrons**: Each sulfur has 6, and each chlorine has 7 (total of 14 from 2 chlorines). - **Total Valence Electrons**: 6 + 6 + 14 = 26 - **Lewis Structure**: S₂Cl₂ has a bent shape due to two lone pairs on the central sulfur. - **Hybridization**: sp³ (2 sigma bonds + 2 lone pairs). - **Polarity**: The molecule is polar due to the asymmetrical shape. ### Step 4: Count the non-planar and polar molecules. From our analysis: - **PCl₃**: Non-planar and polar (1 molecule) - **SO₂**: Planar and polar (1 molecule) - **S₂Cl₂**: Non-planar and polar (1 molecule) Thus, the total number of non-planar and polar molecules is: \[ 1 \text{ (PCl₃)} + 1 \text{ (S₂Cl₂)} = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of non-planar and polar molecules in the products is **2**. ---
