What are the sHapes of `ClF_(3), XeO_(2) F_(2)and BrF_(5)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the shapes of the molecules ClF3, XeO2F2, and BrF5, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - **ClF3**: Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, and each Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, for ClF3: \[ \text{Total valence electrons} = 7 + 3 \times 7 = 28 \] ...
