`PCl_5` has trigonal pyramidal geometry with `sp^3 d` hybridisation in gases and liquid state but in solid state it exist as ionic compound.
What is the hybridisation state of cation part of solid `PCl_5` ?

A

`sp^3 d^2`

B

`sp^3 d`

C

`sp^3`

D

`sp^2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Solid `PCl_5` is `[PCl_4)^(oplus) [PCl_6]^(Ө)`
`[PCl_4]^(oplus) = "Tetrahedral", [PCl_6]^(Ө) = "Octahedral"`.
