Question

Shape and hybridisation of IF5 are

Answer 1

Answer:

IF5 a) Lewis structure is first structure and has an extra lone pair on the central atom b) VSEPR 5 bp + 1 lp = 6 shape is octahedral c) Molecular shape is square pyramid (second structure). d) Hybridization is sp3d2 (VSEPR 6 pairs on central atom so need 6 orbitals) e) Weakly polar

Answer 2

Explanation:

IF5 having 5 sigma bonds and I lonepair

so the hybridisation is sp3d2
