The geometry of electron pairs around l ...

The geometry of electron pairs around l in `IF_(5)` is

A

octahedral

B

trigonal bipyramidal

C

square pyramidal

D

pentagonal planar

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`lF_(5)=7+5xx7=(42)/(8)=5+1`
`sp^(3)d^(2)`-hybridisation, hence it should be octahedral. But its actual geometry is square pyramidal due to the presence of one lone pair of electrons.
