compare the molecular shape and hybrid orbitals of PF3 and PF5 molecules
PF3 is phosphorustrifluoride with p in the center and three f bonding with it.PF5 is phosphoruspentafluoride with p in the middle and 5 f linking to bond
Explanation:
The phosphorus trifluoride (\(PF_3\)) has a piramidal geometry as can be seen in the First figure with the three F bonded to the P.
The phosphorus pentafluoride (\(PF_5\)) has a bipiramidal geometry as can be seen in the Second figure with all the F bonded to the P.
