Hybridization theory' used to predict the exact geometry of the molecule after finding the number of bond pairs and lone pair of electrons.

Lone pair electrons in molecule occupy more space as compared to bond pairs of electrons. The geometry of molecule or electrons are in such a way to minimized electronic repulsions.

CORRECT shape and example of the type molecule is ( Central atom. Surrounding atom)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

BCl₃ is trigonal planar (sp² hybridization), matching the ABn type. PCl₅ is trigonal bipyramidal. IF₇ is pentagonal bipyramidal. SF₆ is octahedral.
