Explanation:

• Hybridization is defined as the concept of mixing two atomic orbitals with the same energy levels to give a degenerated new type of orbitals. This intermixing is based on quantum mechanics.
• Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. 1 electron each is shared by chlorine atom hence, PCl5 molecule has sp3d hybridisation and hence trigonal bipyramidal shape.
