Talk:Trigonal bipyramid molecular geometry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

plx help!!!!

In PCl5, why can't the 4s orbitals be used in the "hybirdization"? Why is the hybridization of P in the compound as sp3d, but not s2p3( using a 3s, a 4s, 3 3p orbitals)?

What is mean by the statement: there is a conflict between 3s and 4s in the hybridization?

thx
