    2.

    The PCl5PCl_5 molecule exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Which of the following BEST explains the difference in bond lengths between axial and equatorial bonds in PCl5PCl_5?

    A

    Difference in hybridization of axial and equatorial chlorine atoms.

    B

    Unequal sharing of electrons between phosphorus and axial vs. equatorial chlorine atoms.

    C

    Greater repulsion experienced by axial bond pairs due to 90ยฐ interactions with equatorial bond pairs.

    D

    The presence of d-orbitals in phosphorus preferentially influences axial bond lengths.

    Which of the following offers the best explanation for the square planar geometry of XeF4 based on Valence Bond Theory?

    A

    Xe undergoes sp3 hybridization, with the two lone pairs occupying opposite corners of a tetrahedron.

    B

    Xe undergoes sp3d hybridization, with the two lone pairs occupying equatorial positions.

    C

    Xe undergoes sp3d2 hybridization, with the two lone pairs occupying axial positions to minimize repulsion, leading to a square planar arrangement of the four Xe-F bonds.

    D

    Xe undergoes dsp2 hybridization, similar to transition metal complexes.
