How can describe the bonding in PF5 using hybrid orbital?

The electron-pair and molecular geometry oF PF5 are trigonal-bipyra- midal according to its Lewis structurc and VSEPR theory. Five covalent bonds must point to the corners of a trigonal bipyramid. Therefore, the P atom must  have a single electron in each of five hybrid orbitals. the hybrid scheme is  Sp3d is required.  
Each of the five P-F sigma bond involves overlap of one of the phosphorus spec hybrid orbital with fluorine 2p orbital.

What is Arrhenius equation ?

The temperature dependence of rate of a chemical reaction can be accurately explained by Arrhenius equation. It was first proposed by Dutch chemist   J.H. Vant’s Hoff but Swedish chemist Arrhenius provides its physical justification and interpretation.

Where  

 K= Rate constant

 A= Arrhenius constant or frequency factor or pre exponential factor

 R= Universal gas constant =25/3 joule per mole per second

Ea= Activation Energy

 T= temperature

-Ea/RT= Boltzmann factor or fraction of molecule having equal or greater than Activation energy or fraction of molecule that have kinetic energy greater than activation energy.

What is " Clasius Claperon" equation ?

The dependence of vapour pressure and temperature is given by CLASIUS CLAPERON equation.

Vapour pressure of a particular liquid system is only the function of temperature only. It is independent from all other 

What is "Anoxia" conditions ?

At high altitudes the partial pressure of oxygen is less than that at the ground level. This leads to low concentrations of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high altitudes or climbers. Low blood oxygen causes climbers to become weak and unable to think clearly, symptoms of a condition known as anoxia.

What is bends condition and what is relation of bends with Scuba divers ?

Scuba divers must cope with high concentrations of dissolved gases while breathing air at high pressure underwater. Increased pressure increases the solubility of atmospheric gases in blood. When the divers come towards surface, the pressure gradually decreases. This releases the dissolved gases and leads to the formation of bubbles of nitrogen in the blood. This blocks capillaries and creates a medical condition known as bends, which are painful and dangerous to life.
 To avoid bends, as well as, the toxic effects of high concentrations of nitrogen in the blood, the tanks used by scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium (11.7% helium, 56.2% nitrogen and 32.1% oxygen).
