Which of the following set of properties belongs to PCl_5

Answer»

`sp^(3)`, tetrahedral , 4 VALENCE shell pairs of ELECTRONS
`sp^(3)d`, trigonal bipyramidal , 5 valence shell pairs of electrons
`sp^(3)d^(2)`, octahedral , 6 valence shell pairs of electrons
`sp^(3)d` , SQUARE planar , 4 valence shellpairs of ELECTRON

Solution :Valence shell electronic configuration of

Since there is no lone pair of electorns on P atoms, `PCl_(5)` has the expected trigonal bipyramidal shape.
