$sp^3 	o sp^3d$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In $PCl_3$,the phosphorus atom has $3$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair,resulting in a steric number of $4$,which corresponds to $sp^3$ hybridisation.In $PCl_5$,the phosphorus atom has $5$ bond pairs and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a steric number of $5$,which corresponds to $sp^3d$ hybridisation.Therefore,the hybridisation changes from $sp^3$ to $sp^3d$.

During the conversion of $PCl_3$ to $PCl_5$,the hybridisation of the $P$ atom changes from .......
