Question

Explain the formation of PCl5

with the help of hybridisation.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The five orbitals viz 1s, 3p, and 1d orbitals are free for hybridization. Therefore, it can obtain a set of 5sp3d hybrid orbitals directed to the 5 corners of a trigonal bipyramidal (VSEPR theory).In PCl5 the 5sp3d orbitals of phosphorus overlap with p orbitals of chlorine atoms. The p orbitals are singly occupied.

Answer 2

Explanation:

phosphorus chloride
