问答题 Two different bond lengths are observed in the PF5 molecule,but only one bond length is observed in SF6. Explain the difference.
【正确答案】Trigonal bipyramidal structure have inherently two different types of bonding-axial, 90°away from a plane, and equatorial, in the plane. The equatorial bonds are 120°away from each other. Since the bonding is different,the bond lengths are not expected to be exactly the same. SF5 is octahedral;all 6 bonds are exactly the same.
