Consider the following information $(X = F$ or $Cl)$:
Molecule $P-X$ (axial) bond length / $P-X$ (equatorial) bond length
$PF_5$ $a / b$
$PF_4CH_3$ $c / d$
$PF_3(CH_3)_2$ $e / f$
$PCl_5$ $g / h$

According to the given information,choose the incorrect order of bond lengths.

  • A
    $g > a > d > b$
  • B
    $g > e > f > b$
  • C
    $f > d > a > b$
  • D
    $c > f > d > b$
