The species formed on fluorination of phosphorus pentachloride in a polar organic solvent are :
- (A) and
- (B) and ✓ Correct
- (C) and
- (D) and
Answer: (B)
Solution
When is fluorinated in a polar organic solvent, it forms ionic isomers. The fluorination is partial and produces two ionic species:
The polar solvent stabilizes these ionic forms.
- (colorless crystals)
- (white crystals)
The polar solvent stabilizes these ionic forms.
