Dear student
pcl5 have a trigonal bipyramidal structure .
if u can see the electronic configuration then it suggest us to use sp3d hybrid orbitals on phosphorous . each chlorine atom have singly occupied 3p orbitals . the p-cl bond formed by the overlapping of phosphorous sp3d hybrid orbitals with singly occupied chlorine 3p orbitals , each cl hold 3 loan pairs .
hence in pcl5 the electron pair is 5 , so, the bond pair is also 5 .
2- in pcl3 , the electron pair is 3 and bond pair is 3 and it has 1 loan pair electron it have sp3 hybridisation .
so, this suggest the trigonal pyramidal shape .

Pcl5 is the phosphorous penta chloride which as 3 equatorial bonds and 2 axial bonds of phosphorus and chlorine and it has hybridization of sp3d hybridization and shape is trigonal bipyrammidal. Coming to the pcl3 is the phophorous tri chloride with 3 phosphorus and chlorine bonds and a lone pair with sp3 hyb4idisation
