Question

Among the following molecules: SO2, SF4, ClF3, BrF5 and XeF4 which of the following shapes does not describe any of the molecules mentioned? (A) Bent (B) Trigonal bipyramidal (C) See-saw (D) T-shape

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Because SO2 - bent SF4 - see-saw ClF3 - T-shape BrF5 - square pyramidal XeF4 - square planar.

Q. Among the following molecules : $S O_{2}, S F_{4}, Cl F_{3}, B r F_{5}$ and $X e F_{4}$ which of the following shapes does not describe any of the molecules mentioned?

Bent

Trigonal bipyramidal

See-saw

$T$ -shape

Because
$S O_{2} -$ bent
$S F_{4} -$ see-saw
$Cl F_{3} - T$ -shape
$B r F_{5} -$ square pyramidal
$X e F_{4} -$ square planar.
