Detailed Solution

Given: Compounds: PX₂Y₃ and PX₃Y₂

All X atoms replaced by Z

Electronegativity: X > Y > Z

Step 1: Molecular Shapes

Phosphorus compounds with 5 ligands have trigonal bipyramidal geometry:

3 atoms in equatorial plane

2 atoms in axial positions

Step 2: Dipole Moments

PX₂Y₃ → PZ₂Y₃: asymmetric → net dipole ≠ 0 (Correct)

PX₃Y₂ → PZ₃Y₂: symmetric → net dipole = 0 (Correct)

Step 3: Match with Statements

i) Dipole of PX₂Y₃ product is non-zero - Correct

ii) Dipole of PX₂Y₃ product is zero - Incorrect

iii) Dipole of PX₃Y₂ product is zero - Correct

iv) Dipole of PX₃Y₂ product is non-zero - Incorrect

Answer (Incorrect statements): ii and iv

After replacing X by less electronegative Z, PX₂Y₃ becomes asymmetric → dipole ≠ 0; PX₃Y₂ remains symmetric → dipole = 0.
