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 Valence Electrons - **PCl5**: Phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons, and each Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, for PCl5: \[ \text{Total valence electrons} = 5 + (5 \times 7) = 5 + 35 = 40 \] - **BrF5**: Bromine (Br) has 7 valence electrons, and each Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, for BrF5: ...
