In solid-state `PC1_(5)` exists in ionic form. Mark the correct hybridization state of Phosphorus in cationic and anionic form respectively.

Options

A. `d sp ^(2), sp ^(3) d ^(2)`
B. `sp ^(3), sp ^(3) d ^(2)`
C. `sp ^(3) d ^(2), sp ^(3)`
D. `sp ^(3) d ^(2), dsp ^(2)`

Answer

B

Explanation

cationic form is `[PCl _(4) ]^(+)` which has `sp ^(3)` hybridization state. And anionic form is `[PCl _(6)]^(-)` which has `sp ^(3) d ^(2)` hybridization state.
