In `PCl_(5)` phosphorus is in `sp^(3)` d hybridised state but all its five bonds are not equivalent. Justify your answer with reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`PCl_(5)` has trigonal bipyramidal structure, the two axial bonds are longer, as they experience more repulsion than three equatorial bonds.
