1.) false.
the equatorial bonda are shorter than axial ones.
this is to minimise e-e repulsion..
1. IN PCl5 ALL BONDS ARE EQUIVALENT AND HAVE SAME BOND LENGTH <TRUE/FALSE> EXPLAIN WITH DIAGRAM :)
2. HOW HYBRIDISATION EFFECTS BOND LENGTH , DOES IT MAKES ALL OF THEM EQUAL AND EQIVALENT .. PLEASE EXPLAIN . :)
1.) false.
the equatorial bonda are shorter than axial ones.
this is to minimise e-e repulsion..
since axial bond angles is less [90deg].. so to minimise the repulsion effect the bond lengths increases..
1) is explained in #3
now the 2nd past
Hybridization is basically a process of mixing the atomic orbitals of different energies.
They r helpful in studying the shapes ans sizes of the atomic orbitals of the molecules.
Hybridization basically concerns with the geometry ,bond angle ,structure of the molecule
