Which of the following is most stable?(a) AsCl5(b) SbCl5(c) PCl5(d) BiCl5The question was asked in my homework.The question is from P-Block Elements in section P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (c) PCL5

For explanation: Phosphorus pentachloride is the most stable. As we MOVE down a group in the periodic table, the stability of the pentahalides decreases due to inert pair EFFECT. So, the correct order of stability is PCl5 > SbCl5 > AsCl5 > BiCl5.
