Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the shapes of PCl₅ and BrF₅ using VSEPR theory, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Central Atom and its Valence Electrons - **For PCl₅**: The central atom is phosphorus (P). Phosphorus has the electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p³, which gives it 5 valence electrons. - **For BrF₅**: The central atom is bromine (Br). Bromine has the electronic configuration of [Ar] 4s² 4p⁵, which gives it 7 valence electrons. ### Step 2: Count the Number of Bonding Pairs and Lone Pairs - **For PCl₅**: Phosphorus will form 5 bonds with chlorine atoms. Therefore, there are 5 bonding pairs and no lone pairs. ...
