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
