Explain why the axial bonds in `PC l_(5)` are longer than the equatorial bonds.

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 PCl_5 the two axial bonds are longer than equitorial bonds why?

What is the hybridisation of p in PCl_5 . Why are axial P-Cl bonds longer than the equatorial bonds?

Explain, why all the bonds In PCI_5 are not identical.

Why are the P-Cl bonds in PC l_(5) not of same length?

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.
