Question

The shape of PC15 molecule is​

Answer 1

PCl5

Its hybridisation is sp3d1

structure is trigonal bipyramidal

Answer 2

Trigonal Bipyramid Shape

Explanation:

• PCl5 features a shape of trigonal bipyramid with sp3d Hybridization and non-planar structure.
• In PCl5, P has 5 valence electrons in orbitals form making 5 bonds with 5 Cl atoms,  from 3s to 3d orbital it'll share one in all electrons, hence the hybridization is sp3d. So geometry will be trigonal bipyramidal  with sp3d hybridization.
• In PCl5, the electronic configuration of phosphorus form five bonds with chlorine electron form s-orbital that's excited to the vacant d-orbital because of which phosphorus gains the power to form 5 bonds and contains a total of five unpaired electrons.
