Explain the structures of `PCl_5` and `SF_6` with in the framework of octet rule.

What is structure of PCl_5 solid?

The structure of PCl_(5) in the solid state is :

What is octet rule?

According to Octet Rule, each atom gains or loses electrons to complete its outermost shell. As a result, molecules are formed. Each contributing element has 8 electrons in the outermost shell, but there are some limitations to this rule in which central atom of some molecules has more han 8 electrons. Some molecules like NO and NO_(2) don't satisfy octet rule as they have odd electrons in them. On the basis of above paragraph, answer the following : (i) Writer the Lewis structurre of N_(2) molecule. (ii) How the structure of SF_(6) cannot be explained on the basis of octet rule ?

Draw the structure of PCl_(5)(s) molecule.

the structure of SF_6 is octahedral. what is the structure of SF_4

Write the structural formula of PCl_5(s) .

Assuming a Lewis structure for SO_(2) in which all the atoms obey the octet rule, the formal charge on S is:

Molecule which follows octet rule

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.
