Identify the incorrect statement related to from the following:
Three equatorial P-Cl bonds make an angle of with each other
Two axial P-Cl bonds make an angle of with each other
Axial P-Cl bonds are longer than equatorial P-Cl bonds
PCl molecule is non-reactive
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the structure and properties of 1. has a trigonal bipyramidal structure. In this structure:⢠There are three equatorial P-Cl bonds and two axial P-Cl bonds.2. Let's evaluate each option:⢠Option 1: Three equatorial P-Cl bonds make an angle of with each other. - This is correct. In a trigonal bipyramidal structure, the equatorial bonds are apart.⢠Option 2: Two axial P-Cl bonds make an angle of with each other. - This is correct. The axial bonds are linear and apart.⢠Option 3: Axial P-Cl bonds are longer than equatorial P-Cl bonds. - This is correct. Due to greater repulsion, axial bonds are typically longer than equatorial bonds.⢠Option 4: molecule is non-reactive. - This is incorrect. is reactive, especially with water, where it hydrolyzes to form and Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 4. is reactive.
