NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following statements accurately describes the hybridization and bond lengths in the case of PCl 5 and SF 6 ?
Options
- ABoth PCl 5 and SF 6 have the same hybridization, and in both molecules, axial bonds are longer than equatorial
- BPCl 5 and SF 6 have different hybridizations, and in PCl 5 , axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds, whe
- CPCl 5 and SF 6 have the same hybridization, and in both molecules, axial bonds and equatorial bonds have the s
- DPCl 5 and SF 6 have different hybridizations, and in both molecules, axial bonds and equatorial bonds have the
Correct answer
B. PCl 5 and SF 6 have different hybridizations, and in PCl 5 , axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds, whe
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) PCl 5 and SF 6 have different hybridizations, and in PCl 5 , axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds, whereas in SF 6 , axial bonds and equatorial bonds have the same length.
