The ligands which form the covalent bond with the central phosphorus atom such as hydrogen, methyl, and methylene groups prefer to coordinate in the equatorial position. This nature of the ligands is called as the equatoriphilicity. It is possible to predict whether the pseudorotation reactio...
Four types of bonding – ionic, covalent, Van der Waals and metallic forms are identified. A single example of each helps to make the distinction clear. Block, Bragg and Schrodinger mathematical formulations and experimental methods (used to measure atomic spacings) are explained in more detail, ...
