The correct Answer is:
To determine the change in hybridization during the reaction \(2 \text{PCl}_5 \rightleftharpoons \text{PCl}_4^{+} + \text{PCl}_6^{-}\), we need to analyze the hybridization states of phosphorus in each species involved in the reaction. ### Step 1: Determine the hybridization of PCl5 1. **Identify the valence electrons of phosphorus**: Phosphorus (P) is in group 15 and has 5 valence electrons. 2. **Count the bond pairs**: In PCl5, phosphorus forms 5 bonds with 5 chlorine atoms, meaning there are 5 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs. 3. **Calculate the hybridization**: The hybridization can be determined using the formula: \[ \text{Hybridization} = \text{Number of bond pairs} + \frac{\text{Number of lone pairs}}{2} \] For PCl5: \[ \text{Hybridization} = 5 + 0 = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{sp}^3\text{d} \] ### Step 2: Determine the hybridization of PCl4+ 1. **Identify the change in electrons**: The PCl4+ ion indicates that phosphorus has lost one electron. 2. **Count the bond pairs**: In PCl4+, phosphorus forms 4 bonds with chlorine, resulting in 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs. 3. **Calculate the hybridization**: \[ \text{Hybridization} = 4 + 0 = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{sp}^3 \] ### Step 3: Determine the hybridization of PCl6- 1. **Identify the change in electrons**: The PCl6- ion indicates that phosphorus has gained one electron. 2. **Count the bond pairs**: In PCl6-, phosphorus forms 6 bonds with chlorine, resulting in 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs. 3. **Calculate the hybridization**: \[ \text{Hybridization} = 6 + 0 = 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{sp}^3\text{d}^2 \] ### Step 4: Summarize the change in hybridization - The hybridization changes from: - **PCl5**: sp³d - **PCl4+**: sp³ - **PCl6-**: sp³d² ### Conclusion The change in hybridization during the reaction is from **sp³d** (in PCl5) to **sp³** (in PCl4+) and to **sp³d²** (in PCl6-).
