Which of the following molecule(s) do(es) not exist(s).

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C
Solution:

PH₅ does not exist due to the large size of phosphorus and the small size of hydrogen, leading to steric hindrance. SiCl₆ does not exist because silicon's maximum covalency is 4, and it cannot accommodate six chlorine atoms due to steric hindrance and limited d-orbital participation. PI₅ and SH₂ exist.
