The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two compounds \(PX_2Y_3\) and \(PX_3Y_2\) and their behavior when the atoms \(X\) are replaced by \(Z\) under the given electronegativity order \(X > Y > Z\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hybridization and Geometry of Phosphorus:** - Phosphorus (P) has the electronic configuration of \(3s^2 3p^3\). - To accommodate five monovalent atoms (X and Y), phosphorus undergoes \(sp^3d\) hybridization, resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. 2. **Assign Positions Based on Electronegativity:** - In a trigonal bipyramidal structure, the more electronegative atoms prefer the axial positions. - Given the electronegativity order \(X > Y > Z\), \(X\) will occupy the axial positions in both compounds. 3. **Construct the Structures:** - For \(PX_2Y_3\): - Place \(X\) in the axial positions and \(Y\) in the equatorial positions. - For \(PX_3Y_2\): - Similarly, place \(X\) in the axial positions and \(Y\) in the equatorial positions. 4. **Replace \(X\) with \(Z\):** - Replace \(X\) with \(Z\) in both compounds: - \(PX_2Y_3\) becomes \(PZ_2Y_3\) - \(PX_3Y_2\) becomes \(PZ_3Y_2\) 5. **Analyze the Dipole Moments:** - For \(PZ_2Y_3\): - The two \(Z\) atoms in axial positions and three \(Y\) atoms in equatorial positions will have their dipole moments cancel out due to symmetry, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. - For \(PZ_3Y_2\): - The three \(Z\) atoms in axial positions and two \(Y\) atoms in equatorial positions will not cancel out completely, leading to a non-zero dipole moment. 6. **Evaluate the Statements:** - **Option A:** Dipole moment of \(PZ_2Y_3\) is non-zero. (Incorrect) - **Option B:** Dipole moment of \(PZ_2Y_3\) is zero. (Correct) - **Option C:** Dipole moment of \(PZ_3Y_2\) is zero. (Incorrect) - **Option D:** Dipole moment of \(PZ_3Y_2\) is non-zero. (Correct) ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are **Option A** and **Option C**.
