Choose the INCORRECT pair of MOLECULE and its SHAPE among the following:
Choose the INCORRECT pair of MOLECULE and its SHAPE among the following:
Show Hint
Count lone pairs carefully in VSEPR.
Updated On: Apr 21, 2026
- \( SF_4 \) — Seesaw
- \( BrF_5 \) — Trigonal bipyramidal
- \( NH_3 \) — Trigonal pyramidal
- \( XeF_4 \) — Square planar
- \( ClF_3 \) — T-shape
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
Use VSEPR theory.
Step 1: Check \( BrF_5 \).
\[ \text{Structure: } AX_5E \Rightarrow \text{square pyramidal} \] Given option says trigonal bipyramidal → incorrect.
Step 1: Check \( BrF_5 \).
\[ \text{Structure: } AX_5E \Rightarrow \text{square pyramidal} \] Given option says trigonal bipyramidal → incorrect.
