Give chemical reaction in support of the statement that all the bonds in `PCl` molecule are not equivalent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to greater bond pair-bond pair repulsions, the two axial P-CI bonds are less stable than the three equatorial P-CI bonds. It is because of this reason that when `PCI_(5)` is heated, the less stable axial bonds are broken to form `PCI_(3) and CI_(2)`
`PCI_(5) overset(Delta) rarr PCI_(3) + CI_(2)`
