Answer:
Explanation:
PCl5 has a trigonal bipyramidal structure due to the dsp3 hybridization. Due to this trigonal bipyramidal structure, the 2wo Cl-atoms of PCl5 molecule are stretched at the axis and become little longer and so called as axial bonds, while the rest three Cl-atoms lie on the equator and called as equatorial bonds.
