It is a pyramidnal structure. It is the chemical compound of Phosphorus pentachloride. It is a liquid.

It is used for dispersion forces and dipole attractions between the molecules of substance. It is a Lewis liquid. In this there are 5 Cl atoms bonded to the Phosphorus atom. Its phosphorus pentachloride.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Hybridisation of $P{Cl}_5$ is $sp^3d$.

Explanation:

The diagram is in image.

There are three Equitorial P-Cl Bonds at 120° marked as 1,2 and 3.

There are three Axial P-Cl Bonds at 90° with the plane marked as 4 and 5.

The Axial P-Cl Bonds are longer than Equitorial P-Cl Bonds because the Axial Cl atoms suffers more repulsion than Equitorial Cl so it resides far away from Equitorial Cl atoms.
