axial bonds are longer than equatorial bonds becz axial bond contain very less "s" character as compare to equatorial bond, hence probability of finding it near nucleus is less hence force of attraction by nucleus is less as compare to to equatorial bonds

Are the Rocks near axial are younger or older than the rocks in Oregon?
What is axial?
More solar energy reaches the equatorial regios than the polar regions because the equatorial regions?
The Equatorial regions reach more sun rays
Why are covalent bonds stronger than molecular bonds?
Ionic bonds are stronger.
Are sigma bonds more electrophilic than pi bonds?
Sigma and pi bonds are nucleophiles. Pi bonds are more nucleophilic than sigma. Electrphilic is not a term usually associated with either sigma or pi bonds.
What are asteroids larger than?
Asteroids are larger than Meteoroids.
Why axial bonds are longer than equatoria bonds in PF5 bonds in space geometry?
The axial bond is 158 pm and the equatorial is 152 pm. One explanation is that the hybridisation of the equatorial bonds is sp2 and the hybridisation of the equatorial is pd, the greater s character of the equatorial making the bond shorter. (taken from text book Inorganic chemistry by House) I know of no theretical study that backs this up. Most text books duck this ,e.g Greenwood and Wiberg.
Why PCl5 is used in organic rections than NCl5?
The fact that NCl5 does not exist might come into play. Think about it. NCl5 does not exist
Does Jupiter have a larger equatorial diameter or polar diameter?
Jupiter spins so much faster than Earth, for instance, that its gassy state results in bulging out at the equator. The equatorial diameter is larger than the polar diameter.
Why PCl5 is reactive but SF6 is stable?
PCL5 is formed two types of P-CL bond, equitorial and axial bonds. The axial bonds suffer more repulsion than the equitorial bonds, and they can easily break, which makes PCL5 unstable. SF6 is largely inert due to steric hindrance.
Why is carbon hydrogen bonds longer than hydrogen hydrogen bonds in?
Carbon has a a larger atomic radius than hydrogen.
Which is bigger earth or mercury?
Earth's Equatorial circumference is 40,075.02 km Mars' Equatorial circumference is 3,396.2 km. Earth is bigger.
Are the Rocks near axial are younger or older than the rocks in Oregon?
What is axial?
What planet is largerst?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system with a 71,492 mile equatorial radius (11.209 times larger than the earth).
Does an organic compound have double or single covalent bonds?
Yes organic molecules can have single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. Larger molecules, more than two carbons, always have single bonds and may have double and triple.
Which is bigger the moon Mercury Pluto or Ganymede?
Jupiter's moon Ganymede is the largest. It is the largest moon in the Solar System. Ganymede's equatorial diameter is 5,262 km. This is about 2% larger than Saturn's moon Titan. Pluto's equatorial diameter is only 2,274 km. The Earth's Moon has an equatorial diameter of 3,476 km. Mercury's equatorial diameter is 4,880 km. It is smaller than Ganymede but more massive.
What is the of clf3?
"Trigonal bipyramidal. There are 5 pairs of electrons. 3 bonding pairs and two lone pairs. Therefore the shape which minimizes repulsions is trigonal bipyramidal." This is slightly inaccurate. The geometry is trigonal bipyramidal but since there are two lone pairs of electrons, the molecule is T-shaped. The 2 lone pairs occupy equatorial positions. What I cannot find out yet is why the lone pairs are equatorial and not axial. Note the axial positions are slightly distorted from 180 degrees due to the fact that non bonding electron lone pairs have stronger repulsions than bonded electron pairs. --- The person who answered the question said "I cannot find out yet is why the lone pairs are equatorial and not axial." Here's why: In a trigonal bipyramidal ELECTRON geometry, you have three pairs at equatorial positions which means the angle between them is 120 degrees and you have two pairs at axial positions with angle of 90 degrees to the plane where you have the equatorial electron pairs. (If you want to see what I mean, search for the image "trigonal bipyramidal.") Now, recall that lone pairs are the most repulsive, "wanting" to be as far away as possible from the other electron pairs in order to minimize repulsion. So, they must be at the position with the greatest angle (120 degrees)... which is at an equatorial position.
Which planet has no axial tilt?
Mercury. It seems to have an axial tilt of less than one degree.
