Among the following , which one is a wrong statement ?A. `PH_(5) and BiCl_(5)` do not existB. ` p pi-dpi` bonds are present in `SO_(2)`C. `SeF_(4) and CH_(4)` have same shapeD. `I_(3)^(-)` has bent geometry .

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`(a) PH_(5)` does not exist whereas `PCl_(5) and PF_(5)` exist
This is because Cl and F have p-orbitals to overlap
with d-orbitals of P but H does not have p-orbitals .
Again `BiCl_(3)` exists but `BiCl_(3)` does not due to inert
pair effect
(b) ` p pi - d pi` bonds are present in `SO_(2)`
(c) `SeF_(4) = sp^(3) d, lp = 1 ` shape = see-saw
` CH_(4) = sp^(3) , lp = 0` , shape = tetrahedral
(d) ` I_(3)^(+) = sp^(3), lp = 2 `shape = bent/angular.
