P in `PCl_5` has `sp^3 d` hybridisation. Which of following statement is wrong about ` PCl_5` structure ?

A

Two `P-Cl` bonds are strongest and three ` P -Cl` bonds weaker

B

Two `P-Cl` bonds are axial and larger than three `P -Cl` equatorial bonds

C

`PCl_5` has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with bond-polar nature

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `PCl_5` two aixal bonda are larger and weaker and threfore `PCl_5` diassociates into `PCl_3` and `cl_2` .
