hey mate!!!
↪Now, as formation of ions are difficult in gaseous state, PCl5 is covalent in gaseous state (Remember: Charges cannot be stabilised in gaseous state) however, in solid state, ions can be stabilised by Lattice Energy, also in PCl5 two bonds (axial) are longer and three bonds are shorter (equatorial bonds) so PCl5 is nit that stable (reactive) in gaseous state, but in solid state as it can get more stabilised if it exists in ionic form, where it'll get additional stabilisation due to Lattice Energy it prefers to remain ionic in solid state! Hoping that this helped you!
