Which of the following set of properties belong to `PCI_(5)?`

A

`sp^3`, tetrahedral, 4 valence shell pairs of electrons

B

`sp^3d,` trigonal bipyramidal, 5 valence shell pairs of electrons

C

`sp^3d^2`, square planar, 4 valence shell pairs of electrons

D

`sp^3d`, square planar, 4 valence shell pairs of electrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Valence shell electronic configuration of

Since there is no lone pair of electron on P atom, `PCl_(5)` has the expected trigonal bipyramidal shape.
