Question

In PCl5 molecule the two equivalent axial P – Cl bonds are...............than
three equivalent equatorial P – Cl bonds.
a. longer
b. shorter
c. equal
d. data insufficient

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer. 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.
