The number of \(120^{\circ}, \mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{Cl}\) angles in phosphorus pentachloride are
- A 3
- B 6
- C 9
- D 1
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 3
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Geometry and structure of phosphorus pentachloride \(\left(\mathrm{PCl}_5\right)\) molecule is trigonal bipyramidal where P-atom is \(s p^3 d\)-hybridised. Three \(\mathrm{Cl}\)-atom are present at equatorial positions with…
