WHY PCl5 HAS TWO TWO DIFFERENT BOND LENGTH?
Asked by SNEH MANJARI | 27 Jul, 2010, 12:00: AM
Expert Answer
In PCl5 phosphorus exhibits a hybridisation of sp3d, thus there are five atomic orbitals available for bond formation with chlorine molecules, of which three are at corners (planar) and two are oriented perpendicular to the plane of planar orbitals (axial).
and bond lenghts of these planar and axial bonds are different. therefore it has two different bond lengths
