The number of species from the following which have square pyramidal structure is________ PF 5 , 
IF 5 , BrF 5 , XeOF 4 , 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
3
(3) Among the given, IF 5 ; BrF 5 and XeOF 4 have squre pyramidal structure. VSEPR theory helps us to predict the shape of molecules from the number of electron pairs and lone pairs of electrons that surrounds the central atoms.
