Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

P has ground state valence shell electronic configuration 3s

2

3p3 and the first excited state valence shell electronic configuration is 3s

.

P undergoes sp

d hybridization and has trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

Axial Cl atoms experience higher electron repulsion than equatorial chlorine atoms.

Hence, the axial bonds are longer as compared to equatorial bonds.
