Question

Explain the shape of BrF5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

square pyramidal

Explanation:

BrF5 has 5 BP and 1 lp

so the shape is a deviation of octahedral

it is square pyramidal

Answer 2

Bromine Pentafluoride, BrF5 Draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules, The molecular geometry of BrF5 is square pyramidal with asymmetric charge distribution on the central atom. Bromine has 35 electrons in atomic structure he can share his 5 electron with fluorine n makes brf5 fluorine has 7...

Valence electrons in BrF5 = 7+5×7=42. The distribution of these electrons in BrF5 is given as follows in image. There are six lone pairs of electrons around Br. Hence, the arrangement of these electrons around Br will be octahedral. The hybridization involved is sp^3d^2
