Melting Point -PCl3 and PCl5

Recommended Posts

The intermolecular forces between molecules of PCl5 are larger than the ones in PCl3 - thus a higher boiling point the PCl5 molecule is much larger than the PCl3 and the larger number of protons and electrons in the PCl5 molecule make the dispersion attractions greater.

this website should help give you a clearer answer though.
