The hybrid states of phosphorous atoms i...

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:

A

`PCl_(5)` in solid form exists as `[PCl_(4)]^(+)[PCl_(6)]^(-)`

B

`PBr_(5)` in solid form exists as `[PBr_(4)]^(+)[PBr_(6)]^(-)`

C

`PCl_(5)` in solid form exists as `[PCl_(4)]^(+)Cl^(-)`

D

`PBr_(5)` in solid form exists as `[PBr_(4)]^(+)Br^(-)`
