Why structure of PCl5 is possible but not of NCl5 |
|
Answer» P (1s2 2s2 3s2 3p6) is able to expand its valency to 5 due to the presence of empty d orbitals and forms PCl5. Nitrogen doesent have ant empty d orbiatls, so it can have a maximum valency of 3. Because PCl5 is covalent compound whereas NCl5 is a ionic compound |
