Identify the incorrect statement related to PCl5 from the following:
Two axial P–Cl bonds make an angle of 180° with each other
Axial P–Cl bonds are longer than equatorial P–Cl bonds
PCl5 molecules in non-reactive
Three equatorial P–Cl bonds make an angle of 120° with each other
C.
PCl5 molecules in non-reactive
(1) True
(2) True: Axial bond : 240 pm
Equatorial bond : 202 pm
(3) False: Due to longer and hence weaker axial bonds, PCl5 is a reactive molecule.
(4) True
