Question #53499
why AsCl5 is highly reactive and unstable?
Expert's answer
It is conditioned by very weak As-Cl bonds. The main factor which determines low stability is the huge size and the number of electrons for central atom. Therefore bonding electrons are attracted weaker that leads to weak As-Cl bonds. Furthermore, impact of completed low quantum level on valence electrons makes them more inert to bond formation. This causes a less availability of valence electrons and weak As-Cl interaction.

Dear [b]manisha[/b] You're welcome. We are glad to be helpful. Yes, inert pair effect is also involved.
thanks experts ..being for good answer. so we can also say that inert pair effect is also involved in it.
