The number of species from the following which have square pyramidal structure is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ PF 5 , BrF 4 - , IF 5 , BrF 5 , XeOF 4 , ICl 4 -
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Among the given, IF 5 ; BrF 5 and XeOF 4 have squre pyramidal structure. VSEPR theory helps us to predict the shape of molecules from the number of electron pairs and lone pairs of electrons that surrounds the central atoms.
