In PCl5, in addition to equitorial bonds which lie in the same plane ,there are axial bonds.Since it suffers more repulsion it is longer than the other bonds. Also these are weak bondsand therefore these bonds can break easily .Because of these reasons,PCl5 is very reactive.

PCl5 has two types of bonds. Axial bonds and equatorial bonds. The axial bonds pairs suffer more repulsion from equatorial bond pairs. So the axial bond length is greater than the equatorial bonds length.
