2 thoughts on “which of the following molecules has pentagonal bipyramidal shape? options 1)PF5. 2)SF6I. 3)XeF6. 4) [Fe(CN)6]³-<br />please ans”
Answer:
3) XeF6
Explanation:
In XeF6,Xe, the central atom contains 8 valence electrons. Out of which 6 are utilised with fluorine in bonding (i.e., it contains six bond pairs of electrons) while one pair remains as lone pair.
Answer:
3) XeF6
Explanation:
In XeF6,Xe, the central atom contains 8 valence electrons. Out of which 6 are utilised with fluorine in bonding (i.e., it contains six bond pairs of electrons) while one pair remains as lone pair.
Thus, the total pairs =6+1=7
Hence, its shape is pentagonal bipyramid
Answer:
PF 5
Explanation:
PF 5 having sp3d hybridisation leads to formation of pentagonal bipyramidal shape
