The shape around the central form in `ClF_(4)^(+)` is

A

Square planar

B

Square pyramidal

C

Octahedral

D

Trigonal bipyramidal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Cl^(+)` forms `4sigma` bonds with 4F atoms and left with a lone pair of electrons. So `Cl^(+)` shows `sp^3 d` hybridization and expected geometry is trigonal bipyramidal. Its actual shape is ‘see – saw’.
