Options

  1. A4
  2. B5
  3. C3
  4. D6

Correct answer

C. 3

Step-by-step solution

The following number of molecules having square pyramidal geometry from the above is BrF 5 , ClF 5 , IF 5 . All are sp 3 d 2   hybridised and undergoes square pyramidal geometry. In case of BrF 5 , electron pair is 6 . Hence, the geometry ground the central atom is square pyramidal.
