Statement-1 : `PCl_(5)` has trigonal bipyramidal shape .
and
Statement-2 : Length of all P-Cl bonds in `PCl_(5)` is equal

Explain the bond lengths of all P-Cl bonds in PCl _(5) molecule.

Explain the bond lengths of all P-Cl bonds in PCl _(5) molecule.

Why all bonds in PCl_5 are not equal?

Statement-1 : PF_(5) keeps trigonal bipyramidal strucure in gas as well as in solid state. Statement-2 : PCl_(5) in gas and liquid state is covalent but in solid state it is ionic and exist as [PCl_(4)]^(+) andn [PCl_(5)]^(-) .
