    The type of hybridisation of P atom in\[PC{{l}_{5}}\], \[PCl_{4}^{+}\]and\[PCl_{6}^{-}\]is (respectively)

    A) \[s{{p}^{3}},\,\,s{{p}^{3}}d,\,\,s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\]        

    B) \[s{{p}^{3}}d,\,\,s{{p}^{3}},\,\,s{{p}^{2}}{{d}^{2}}\]

    C) \[s{{p}^{3}},\,\,s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}},\,\,s{{p}^{3}}\]

    D)        \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}},\,\,s{{p}^{3}},\,\,s{{p}^{3}}d\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In\[PC{{l}_{5}}\]No.\[{{e}^{-}}\]pairs around central atom\[P=5\] No of lone pairs = 0 and hybridisation-\[s{{p}^{3}}d\] Shape = trigonal bipyramidal. In\[PCl_{4}^{+}-\]number, of\[{{e}^{-}}\]pairs\[=4\], lone pairs\[=0\], hybridisation\[=s{{p}^{3}}\]and shape - tetrahedral In\[PCl_{6}^{-}-\]number of \[{{e}^{-}}\] pairs = 6, lone pairs = 0, hybridisation \[=s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\] and shape is octahedral
