It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.
covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.
molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.

hi 5th grader, stop trying to cheat :)

Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, weak acids are characterized by the fact they do not dissociate completely, it means they do not divide into the conjugated base and acid at all, a percent only, which is quantified via equilibrium. In such a way, the chemical equation representing such incomplete dissociation is said to be:
Thus, we can write the law of mass action, which consider the equilibrium concentrations of all the involved species, which is also known as the acid dissociation constant which accounts for the capacity the acid has to yield hydronium ions:
Best regards.
Answer:
Sufficient concentration and correct orientation of particles
Explanation:
The collision theory postulates that, for a chemical reaction to occur, there must be collision between reacting particles.
It implies that the rate of reaction depends on the number of collisions per unit time as well as the fraction that are successful or effective.
For collisions to be effective, there must be proper orientation of the particles and right concentration of the reactants.
- The number of effective collisions and rate of reaction are directly proportional to the concentration of of the reactants.
I believe its convention. Not a hundred percent sure though
