Question

compare the dipole moment of PCl5 and PF3Cl2

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,

PCl₅is a trigonal pyramidal molecule and hence is a symmetrical molecule. It is nonpolar and all the individual dipole moments cancel and the net dipole moment is zero, while PF₃Cl₂ is an asymmetrical molecule which is polar and thus it has a net dipole moment.
