Predict the shape of the molecule....

Predict The Shape Of The Molecule class=

Sagot :

Answer: trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

Number of electron pairs = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A][/tex]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

[tex]SbCl_5[/tex] :

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be [tex]sp^3d[/tex] and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.
