Mr.Srikant_IIT the reason for this is also the same as i given for SiCl6 i.e. as the size of iodine is very high the compound is less stable and hence not known.

tell me whether i am correct or not?

reply is must.

iodine is bigger in size than chlorine. hence due to interelectronic repulsions PI5 does not exist.

reply if i am right or wrong

rate me!
