(a) Both \(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\) and \(\mathrm{PCl}_{5}\) are stable compounds. Draw Lewis structures for these two compounds.
(b) \(\mathrm{NCl}_{3}\) is a known compound, but all attempts to synthesize \(\mathrm{NCl}_{5}\) have failed. Draw Lewis structures for \(\mathrm{NCl}_{3}\) and a hypothetical \(\mathrm{NCl}_{5}\), and explain why \(\mathrm{NCl}_{5}\) is an unlikely structure.
