Question

Q63 For which of the following molecule observed bond length is less longer than theoretically determined bond length ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

ok

PCl

5

has trigonal bipyramidal structure in which bond angles of 90

∘

and 120

∘

exist. Hence, two types of bond length are observed, axial bonds are longer than the equatorial bonds while in case of SF

6

, there is only one type of angle (90

∘

) and has octahedral structure.

Therefore, the statement is correct.
