Explain sp3 dhybridisation taking PCls example,

Answer»

In PCl5 molecule the central atom is P.

15P – 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p3

17 Cl- 1s2,2s2,2p6, 3s2, 3p5

The five sp3d hybrid orbitals are singly occupied . These hybrid orbitals overlap with singly filled 3pz atomic orbital of five Chlorine atom to form five sigma bond (P- Cl).

Geometry of PCl5 molecule is trigonal bipyramidal. Bond angle is 90°and 120°.
