In `PCl_(5)`, phosphorus is in `sp^(3)` d hybridised state but all its five bonds are not equivalent. Justify your answer with r

`PCl_(5)` molecule has trigonal bipyramidal geometry in which the central atom is linked with three P - F equitorial bonds and two P - F axial bond. Since these bonds have different bond lengths, these are not same.

In `PCl_(5)`, phosphorus is in `sp^(3)` d hybridised state but all its five bonds are not equivalent. Justify your answer with reason.
