In solid state, PCl(5) is a…….....

In solid state, `PCl_(5)` is a……..

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the solid, `PCl_(5)` exists as `[PCl_(4)]^(+) [PCl_(6)]^(-)` in which the cation is tetrahedral and anion is octahedral. Because of the presence of strong attractive forces, it is a solid.
