Draw the complete Lewis structure of phosphorus trichloride, PC33 - In the complete Lewis structure, the central atom of the structure is CI . It has three single bonds and one lone pair of electrons - around it. The peripheral atoms are P . Each one is connected to the central atom with a single bond - and has two lone pairs of electrons around it.
