Hey
First draw the Lewis dot structure:
Electron geometry: tetrahedral. Hybridization: sp
3
Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:
Decision:
The molecular geometry of SiH
4
is tetrahedral with symmetric charge distribution around the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is non- planer
The molecular geometry of PCl 5 is trigonal bipyramid with symmetric electron region distribution around the central atom.
I Hope It Helps
Good Luck
