The number of inter halogens from the following having square pyramidal structure is

ClF3,IF7,BrF5,BrF3,I2Cl6,IF5,ClF,ClF5{ClF}_{3}, {IF}_{7}, {BrF}_{5}, {BrF}_{3}, {I}_{2}{Cl}_{6}, {IF}_{5}, ClF, {ClF}_{5}

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

Square pyramidal structures are BrF5,IF5{BrF}_{5}, {IF}_{5} and ClF5{ClF}_{5}.

These molecules are made up of 6 equally spaced sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2} hybrid orbitals arranged at 90o{90}^{o} angles. The shape of the orbitals is octahedral. One orbital contains a lone pair of electrons, so the remaining five atoms connected to the central atom gives the molecule a square pyramidal shape. Among the given options the structure with five bond pairs and one lone pair is these three structures only.
