Solve this following

Question:

The structure of $\mathrm{PCl}_{5}$ in the solid state is

  1. square pyramidal

  2. tetrahedral $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{4}\right]^{+}$and octahedral $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{6}\right]^{-}$

  3. square planar $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{4}\right]^{+}$and octahedral $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{6}\right]^{-}$

  4. trigonal bipyramidal


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\mathrm{PCl}_{5(\mathrm{~s})}$ exist as $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{4}\right]^{+}$and $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{6}\right]^{-}$
