  1. PCl3 is sp3 hybridization and it will be trigonal pyramidal.  The phosphorus has a lone pair of electrons.


  2. :-P(-Cl)3

    1 nonbonding pair of electrons

    3 bonding pairs of electrons

    Electron pari geometry is tetrahedral since there are 4 pairs of es around P

    Shape is trigonal pyramidal since lone pairs don't count in determining shape but we know they are there and occupying a corner of tetrahdron
