Hello!!!

Hope you are doing great!!!!

Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine.So P-F bond is shorter than P-Cl bond,more the electronegativity more will be the force of attraction.So shorter bondlength.As fluorine's are located in the axial position, hence these P-F bonds which are actually axial bonds are shorter than that of equatorial bonds.

Hope it helps you!!!!
