Detailed Solution

Due to its symmetrical geometrical structure, which causes the polarity of the P-Cl bonds to be cancelled out by one another, PCl5 is nonpolar in nature. The net dipole moment of PCl5 therefore equals zero.
There is no dipole moment in Cl2. Dipole moments, which measure the separation of charge in a molecule, are vector values that explain this.
