Question

explain hybridization in pcl5

Answer 1

hybridization of pcl5. It is prominent that all the bond angles in trigonal bipyramidal geometry are not identical. In PCl5 the 5sp3d orbitals of phosphorus overlap with p orbitals of chlorine atoms. The p orbitals are singly occupied. Together they form 5 P–Cl sigma bonds

Answer 2

Answer:

orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.
