The electron density lies along the axis of the two bonded nuclei. What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between P and F in phosphorous pentafluoride,PF5? Orbital on P What is the approximate F-P-F bond angle? (list all possible separated by a space)

Explanation / Answer

sp3d hybrid orbital of P + P-orbital of F

bond angles are 90^0 and 120^0
............................................
sp2 hybrid orbital of Al + P-orbital of Cl
Cl-Al-Cl bond angle is 120^0
...............................................

sp2 hybrid orbital of C2 + P-orbital on O

C1-C2-O1 bond angle is 120^0
