Describe the hybridisation in case of PCl_(2). Why are the axial bonds longer as compared to equatorial bonds ?

Describe hybridisation in the case of PCl_(5) and SF_(6) The axial bonds are longer as compared to equatorial bonds in PCl_(5) whereas in SF_(6) both axial bonds and equatorial bonds and have the same bond length. Explain.

Assertion : In trigonal bipyramidal structure two axial bonds are longer than the equatorial bonds. Reason : Axial bonds suffer more repulsion as compared to equatorial bonds.

In the case of Cl_(2) , the bond is formed by

All bonds in the molecule of PCl_(5) are not equivalent. Explain.
