Based on VSEPR theory, the number of 90 degree F - Br - F angles in BrF ₅ is
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
In BrF ₅ number of electrons =6(1 l p+5 b p) So, the structure is supposed to be square pyramidal but will be distorted because of additional lp- b p interaction. Additional l p-b p interaction reduces the all bond angle and do not let any angle to be 90^ . Chemical bonding Conceptual IV
