State the bond angle and bond length in ethene. What are the bond angles in $PCl_5$?
(N/A) Structure of ethene $(C_2H_4)$:
$C-C$ bond length is $134 \text{ pm}$.
Bond angles: $\angle H-C-H = 117.6^{\circ}$ and $\angle H-C-C = 121^{\circ}$.
Structure of $PCl_5$:
$PCl_5$ has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
Three $P-Cl$ bonds lie in the same equatorial plane with a bond angle of $120^{\circ}$ $(\angle Cl-P-Cl)$.
Two $P-Cl$ bonds are axial, perpendicular to the equatorial plane, with bond angles of $90^{\circ}$ with the equatorial bonds.
$C-C$ bond length is $134 \text{ pm}$.
Bond angles: $\angle H-C-H = 117.6^{\circ}$ and $\angle H-C-C = 121^{\circ}$.
