- A octahedral structure
- B ionic solid with \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_6\right]^{+}\)and \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{-}\)
- C ionic solid with \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+}\)and \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_6{ }^{-}\right.\)
- D covalent solid present in the form of \(\mathrm{P}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_{10}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) ionic solid with \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+}\)and \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_6{ }^{-}\right.\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{PCl}_5\) is an ionic solid composed of \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_4\right]^{+}\)ions
and \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_6\right]^{-}\)ions. In an ionic solid, there is a transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation these cations and anions. These opposite charged ions held together by electrostatic forces forming a crystal lattice structure.
