White phosphorus reacts with thionyl chloride to give

White phosphorus reacts with thionyl chloride to give

Options

A ${PCl}_{5}, {SO}_{2}$ and ${S}_{2}{Cl}_{2}$
B ${PCl}_{3}, {SO}_{2}$ and ${S}_{2}{Cl}_{2}$
C ${PCl}_{3}, {SO}_{2}$ and ${Cl}_{2}$
D ${PCl}_{5}, {SO}_{2}$ and ${Cl}_{2}$

Correct answer

B. ${PCl}_{3}, {SO}_{2}$ and ${S}_{2}{Cl}_{2}$

Step-by-step solution

The action of thionyl chloride with white phosphorus produces phosphorus trichloride, sulphur dioxide and sulphur monochloride.
${P}_{4} + 8{SOCl}_{2} \to 4{PCl}_{3} + 4{SO}_{2} + 2{S}_{2}{Cl}_{2}$
PCl₃ has a pyramidal shape,in which phosphorus is sp³ hybridised.
