As we have learnt,

 

Structure of phosphorus pentachloride -

Trigonal bipyramidal structure (liquid and gas). In solid state as \left [ PCl_{4} \right ]^{+} \left [ PCl_{6} \right ]^{-} , \left [ PCl_{4} \right ]^{+} is tetrahedral and [ PCl_{6} \right ]]^{-} is octahedral.

- wherein

 

 

In solid state PCl5 exists as [PCl_4]^+ and [PCl_6]^-

Hybridisation of  [PCl_4]^+ is sp3

Hybridisation of [PCl_6]^- is sp3d2
