Question

Describe the hybridization in case of PCI5. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Phosphorus atom is sp3d hybridized in the excited state. The geometry of PCl5 is trigonal bipyramidal . The P atom lies in the centre of an equatorial triangle & three P-Cl bonds (equatorial bonds) are directed towards its three corners with 120° bond angle.

Answer 2

Answer:

P has ground state valence shell electronic configuration 3s2 3p3 and the first excited state valence shell electronic configuration is 3s1 3p3 3d1.

P undergoes sp3d hybridization and has trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

Axial Cl atoms experience higher electron repulsion than equatorial chlorine atoms.

Hence, the axial bonds are longer as compared to equatorial bonds.
