The phosphorus tri-halides (PX3) show the following variations in the bond angle X-P-X: PF3, 100.3o, PCl3, PBr3,
Question:
(a) Assuming that all electron domains are the same size, what value of the angle is predicted by the VSEPR model?
(b) What is the general trend in the X-P-X angle as the halide electro-negativity increases?
(c) Using the VSEPR model, explain the observed trend in X-P-X angle as the electro-negativity of X changes.
(d) Based on your answer to part (c), predict the structure of PBrCl4.
