Identify the incorrect statement for PCl from the following. 5 3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5

(A) In this molecule, orbitals of phosphorous are assumed to undergo sp d hybridization.
(B) The geometry of PCl  is trigonal bipyramidal.
(C) PCl  has two axial bonds stronger than three equatorial bonds.
(D) The three equatorial bonds of PCl  lie in a plane.

Correct answer: D) THE THREE EQUATORIAL BONDS OF PCL  LIE IN A PLANE.. PCl has sp d hybridization and trigonal bipyramidal shape. Three equational bonds of PCl lie in same plane It has 3 equatorial & 2 axial bonds. Axial bonds of PCl are weaker than equatorial bonds of PCl .
