Read the following short write-up and answer the questions at the end of it.
In certain polar solvents `PCl_(5)` undergoes an ionisation reaction in which `Cl^(-)` ion leaves one `PCl_(5)` molecule and attach itself to another.
`2PCl_(5)rarrPCl_(4)^(+)+PCl_(6)^(-)`
Select incorrect statement(s).

A

`PCl_(5)` has `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation

B

Hybridisation changes from `sp^(3)d` to `sp^(3)d^(2)` in `(PCl_(6)^(-))` and to `sp^(3)` in `(PCl_(4)^(+))`

C

Structure changes from trigonal bipyramidal to tetrahedral in `(PCl_(4)^(+))` and octahedral in `(PCl_(6)^(-))`

D

ClPCl (in `PCl_(4)^(+)`) `<` ClPCl (largest angle in `PCl_(6)^(-)`)
