Detailed Solution

Structure of P4O10.All four 'P' atoms are sp3 hybridised six 'O' atoms are sp3 hydridised.Four 'O' atoms are sp2 hybridised.Total sp3 hybridised atoms in P4O10 = 4 + 6 = 10Total sp2 hybridised atoms in P4O10 = 4. (ii) Solid PI, exists as, PI4⊕sp3hybridizedI⊝Total number of sp3 hybridised atoms in PI5 = oneTotal number of sp2 hybridised atoms in PI5 = zero∴X=10+1=11Y=4+0=4(X+Y)6=156=2.5
