Question

Formation of PCl5
Sp3 hybridisation

Answer 1

Explanation:

PCl5 molecule the central atom is P.

15P – 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p3

17 Cl- 1s2,2s2,2p6, 3s2, 3p5

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. Bond angle is 900 and 1200.

Answer 2

PCl5 molecules the central atom is P
The 5 sp3d hybrid orbital are singly occupied
The hype is orbital overlap with singly filled 3Pz atomic orbital of 5 Cl atom to form (P-C) five sigma bond
Geometry is ... trigonal bipyramidal
