Question

explain the shape of BrF5

Answer 1

Bromine Pentafluoride, BrF5 Molecular Geometry & Polarity. Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules: Decision: The molecular geometry of BrF5 is square pyramidal with asymmetric charge distribution on the central atom.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Bromine Pentafluoride’s chemical formula is $\bold{\mathrm{BrF}_{5}}$

Bromine Pentafluoride is an interhalogeneous compound, which is composed of fluoride and bromine. It is a good fluorinating agent.

The geometrical shape of electron structure: Octahedral

The geometrical shape of the molecular structure of ${\mathrm{BrF}_{5}$: Square pyramidal, and distribution of charge asymmetrically on the central atom, which proves it is a polar molecule.  

Hybridization: ${5 p^{3} d^{2}$  [As per the orbit space, the hybridization of the molecule is find easily].

The Lewis structure and the ordinary structure of the Bromine Pentafluoride is attached below:
