Question

Please note that "geometry" refers to the molecular or ionic geometry. A. What is the electron-pair geometry for P in PF5? lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of PF5 is ..There are B. What is the electron-pair geometry for S in SF4? ...There are lone pair(s) around the central atom, so the geometry of SF4 is CHECK ANSWER

Answer 1

Por central P' Lone pairson P = Lew Bond pains : 5 Total é pairs 25 Geometry - Trigonal bipyramidal A. Electron pair geometry of Pin Pf, is Trigonal bi pyramidal There are no lone pairs, so geometry of Paris Trigonal bipyramidal) for central's Love pairs aq s Brond pairs 24 f f Total é pairs 26. é pair geometry of Sty is to Octahedral There are two lone pairs, so geometry of styles [square planar CIF For central ce f-cë -f Lone pairs F F Bond pairs a AF 5 E Total é pairs 6. é pair geometry of er is loctahedral) There is lone lone pair, so, geometry is square pyramida A

Sfill for central's' Lone pair = zew Bond pair = 6 Total é pair - 6 é pair geometry of Sin sty in Octahedral There are no lone pairs, so, geometry of Sty is Joctahedral
