Identify the incorrect statement about $PCl_5$.$PCl_5$ has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with $sp^3d$ hybridisation, five P–Cl sigma bonds, and two distinct bond angles ($90^\circ$ axial-equatorial and $120^\circ$ equatorial-equatorial). The three equatorial bonds are shorter than the two axial bonds, so all five P–Cl bonds are NOT identical in length — this statement is incorrect.
