The F-B -F bond angels in `BrF_(5)" and " Cl-P-Cl` bond angls in `PCl_(5),` respectively, are

A

identical in`BrF_(5)` but non-identical in `PCl_(5)`

B

identical in`BrF_(5)` and identical in `PCl_(5)`

C

non-identical in`BrF_(5)` but identical in `PCl_(5)`

D

non-identical in`BrF_(5)` and non- identical in `PCl_(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The lone pair occupy more space around the central atom and push away the four planar F atom. Hence the axial Br-F bond length is 170 pm equatorial Br-F bond length is 177 pm.

=Triangular peranidal
Two type of P-Cl bond.
P-Cl axial gt P-Cl equatorial.
