In the compounds of the type `POX_3`, P atoms show multiple bonding of the typeA. `p pi , dpi`B. `d pi, dpi `C. `p pi - dpi `D. no multiple bond is present

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In `POX_(3)`, the hybridisation state of P is `sp^(3)` phosphorous has vacant d-orbitals which will overlap with the P orbitals of oxygen thereby resulting in formation of `p pi -dpi ` bond.
`{:(" O"),(" || " p pi -d pi "bond "),(" P"),(" / | "),(" X X X"):}`
