Identify the incorrect statement about .
- Apossesses two different bond angles
- BAll five bonds are identical in length
- Cexhibits hybridisation
- Dconsists of five (sigma) bonds
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B

It is $s p^3 d$ hybridised with axial to equatorial angle of $90^{\circ}$ and equatorial bond angles of $120^{\circ}$. It has five $$\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{Cl}$$ sigma bonds.
Axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds.
