The hybrid states of phosphorous atoms in each PCl_(5) and PBr_(5) in gasesous phase are sp^(3)d . But, in solid PCl_(5) ,phosphorous shows sp^(3)d^(2) and sp^(3) hybrid states. While,P in PBr_(5) is in sp^(3) hybrid state. This is because:

In PCl_(5) phosphorus is in sp^(3) d hybridised state but all its five bonds are not equivalent. Justify your answer with reason.

When PCl_(5) is heated

Asseration:Although:Although PF_(5),PCl_(5) and PBr_(5) are known, the pentahalides of nitrogen have not been observed. Reason: Phosphorus has lower electronegative than nitrogen.
