The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two compounds \( PX_2Y_3 \) and \( PX_3Y_2 \) in terms of their molecular geometry and dipole moments after replacing all 'X' atoms with 'Z' atoms, given the electronegativity order \( X > Y > Z \). ### Step 1: Analyze the structure of \( PX_2Y_3 \) 1. **Identify the arrangement**: In \( PX_2Y_3 \), phosphorus (P) is the central atom. Given that \( X \) has a higher electronegativity than \( Y \), the \( X \) atoms will occupy the axial positions to minimize repulsion. 2. **Determine the molecular geometry**: The geometry of \( PX_2Y_3 \) is trigonal bipyramidal, with \( X \) atoms in axial positions and \( Y \) atoms in equatorial positions. 3. **Evaluate the dipole moment**: The dipole moments of the \( X \) atoms will cancel each other out due to symmetry, and the dipole moments of the \( Y \) atoms will also cancel each other out. Therefore, the overall dipole moment of \( PX_2Y_3 \) is zero. ### Step 2: Replace \( X \) with \( Z \) in \( PX_2Y_3 \) 1. **New compound**: After replacing \( X \) with \( Z \), we get \( PZ_2Y_3 \). 2. **Re-evaluate the arrangement**: Since \( Z \) has a lower electronegativity than \( Y \), \( Z \) atoms will occupy the equatorial positions, and \( Y \) atoms will occupy the axial positions. 3. **Determine the dipole moment**: The dipole moments of the \( Y \) atoms will not cancel out, as they are in the axial positions. Therefore, the dipole moment of \( PZ_2Y_3 \) is non-zero. ### Step 3: Analyze the structure of \( PX_3Y_2 \) 1. **Identify the arrangement**: In \( PX_3Y_2 \), \( X \) atoms will again occupy the axial positions due to their higher electronegativity compared to \( Y \). 2. **Determine the molecular geometry**: The geometry remains trigonal bipyramidal, with \( X \) in axial positions and \( Y \) in equatorial positions. 3. **Evaluate the dipole moment**: Similar to the previous case, the dipole moments of the \( X \) atoms will cancel each other out, but the \( Y \) atoms will create a net dipole moment. Thus, the overall dipole moment of \( PX_3Y_2 \) is non-zero. ### Step 4: Replace \( X \) with \( Z \) in \( PX_3Y_2 \) 1. **New compound**: After replacing \( X \) with \( Z \), we get \( PZ_3Y_2 \). 2. **Re-evaluate the arrangement**: The \( Z \) atoms will occupy the equatorial positions, while the \( Y \) atoms will occupy the axial positions. 3. **Determine the dipole moment**: The dipole moments of the \( Y \) atoms will not cancel out, leading to a non-zero dipole moment for \( PZ_3Y_2 \). ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, the incorrect statements regarding the dipole moments of the compounds after replacing \( X \) with \( Z \) are: - The dipole moment of \( PZ_2Y_3 \) is non-zero (this is incorrect as it should be zero). - The dipole moment of \( PZ_3Y_2 \) is zero (this is incorrect as it should be non-zero).
