Identify the molecule in which the arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom is octahedral and shape is not octahedral.
- A \(\mathrm{SF}_6\)
- B \(\mathrm{XeF}_6\)
- C \(\mathrm{BrF}_5\)
- D \(\mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{BrF}_5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom is octahedral and shape is not octahedral can be identified with the help of presence of lone pair (lp) of electrons and bond pair \((b p)\) of electrons associated with the central atom. The structure of given species…
