Q. The decomposition of $PC l_{5}$ to $PC l_{3}$ and $C l_{2}$ on heating is an example of

intermolecular redox change

intramolccular redox changc

intranuclear redox change

None of the above

In the above reaction, same compound, i.e. $PC l_{5}$ is oxidised and reduced, so it is an example of intramolecular redox change.
