Question

Explain the hybridization involved in

PCl5

molecule?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In PCl5 molecule the central atom is P. The five sp3d hybrid orbitals are singly occupied . These hybrid orbitals overlap with singly filled 3pz atomic orbital of five Chlorine atom to form five sigma bond (P- Cl). Geometry of PCl5 molecule is trigonal bipyramidal.
