Answer:
\[PC{{l}_{5}}\]has a trigonal bipyramidal
shape in which \[P-Cl\](a) bonds are slightly larger than the \[P-Cl\](e)
bonds. This makes the molecule, rather, unstable. It dissociates to lose two
chlorine atoms involved in the axial bonds and, thus, acts as a chlorinating
agent.
\[PC{{l}_{5}}PC{{l}_{3}}+C{{l}_{2}}\]
