Using VSEPR theory, predict the species which has square pyramidal shape

Question

Using VSEPR theory, predict the species which has square pyramidal shape (A) SnCl 2 (B) CCl 4 (C) SO 3 (D) BrF 5

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In BrF 5 molecule, there are 5 bond pair and one lone pair of electrons with the central atom. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/f00f3e881fe6702127d9a495fccbc8bf-.png" /> Thus, this molecule has octahedral geometry and square pyramidal shape.

$S n C l_{2}$

$CC l_{4}$

$S O_{3}$

$B r F_{5}$

In $B r F_{5}$ molecule, there are $5$ bond pair and one lone pair of electrons with the central atom.

Thus, this molecule has octahedral geometry and square pyramidal shape.
