Question:

In certain polar solvents, PCl5 undergoes an ionization reaction in which a Cl- ion leaves one PCl5 molecule and attaches itself to another. The products of the ionization are PCl4+ and PCl6-. Draw a sketch showing the changes in geometric shapes that occur in this ionization (that is, give the shapes of PCl5, PCl4+, and PCl6-).

2 PC15- PC14+ + PCl6
