प्रश्न
Describe hybridisation in the case of \[\ce{PCl5}\] and \[\ce{SF6}\]. The axial bonds are longer as compared to equatorial bonds in \[\ce{PCl5}\] whereas in \[\ce{SF6}\] both axial bonds and equatorial bonds have the same bond length. Explain.
उत्तर
Hybridisation in the case of \[\ce{PCl5}\]:
The hybridisation of phosphorus \[\ce{PCl5}\] is sp3d and it has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The axial bonds in \[\ce{PCl5}\] are slightly longer as compared to the equatorial bonds because axial bonds experience greater repulsive forces from other bonds as compared to the equatorial bonds.
Hybridisation in the case of \[\ce{SF6}\]:
The hybridisation of sulphur in \[\ce{SF6}\] is sp3d2 and the molecule has an octahedral geometry. The bond length of axial as well as the equatorial bonds are similar because all the bonds in octahedral geometry experience similar repulsive forces from other bonds.
