Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

The molecule $I{F}_5$ has a square pyramidal geometry with 6 electron domains (5 bonding, 1 lone pair) around the central Iodine atom. This corresponds to $s{p}^3{d}^2$ hybridization.

Option D, $Br{F}_5$ and $Xe{F}_5^{+}$, are isostructural. $Br{F}_5$ also has a square pyramidal geometry (5 bonding, 1 lone pair). $Xe{F}_5^{+}$ also has a square pyramidal geometry (5 bonding, 1 lone pair).
