In which of the following molecules, the number of possible ∠ XAX angles is maximum in the anionic part of their solid state? [A : Central atom; X : Surrounding atom]
Options
- APBr 5
- BN 2 O 5
- CPCl 5
- DCl 2 O 6
Correct answer
C. PCl 5
Step-by-step solution
PBr 5 (s) → PBr 4 + + Br − N 2 O 5 (s) → NO 2 + + NO 3 − ( sp 2 ) PCl 5 (s) → PCl 4 + + PCl 6 − ( sp 3 d 2 ) Cl 2 O 6 (s) → ClO 2 + + ClO 4 − ( sp 3 )
