All the p-cl bond in pcl5 are not identical why? |
|
Answer» HII.. PCl5 has a trigonal bipyramidal structure ..DUE to this 2 Cl atoms LIE on axial plane whereas 3 lie on the equatorial plane.. As there is bond pair - bond pair repulsion in axial bonds they have much LONGER bond length.. Hence all p-cl bonds are not equal.. hope this HELPS! |
