TestHub · Accepted Answer

IF 7 structure: Central I atom Geometry: Pentagonal bipyramidal 5 F atoms form pentagonal plane, 2 axial F atoms perpendicular Step 1: Maximum atoms in one plane Pentagonal plane = 5 atoms Step 2: Total number of such planes containing maximum atoms Only 1 pentagonal plane contains these 5 atoms Sum: 5 + 1 = 6 Include central atom in plane count Plane atoms: 5 peripheral + 1 central = 6 Only 1 plane → 6 + 1 = 7
