What happens when PCl5 is heated

What happens when PCl5 is heated?
Answer

All the bonds that are present in PCl5 are not similar. It has three equatorial and two axial bonds. The equatorial bonds are stronger than the axial ones. Therefore, when PCl5 is heated strongly, it decomposes to form PCl3.
