- BrF$_5$ & XeOF$_4$
- SbF$_5$ & XeOF$_4$
- BrF$_5$ & PCl$_5$
- SbF$_5$ & PCl$_5$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
BrF$_5$ and XeOF$_4$ both have square pyramidal structures based on VSEPR theory. BrF$_5$ has 5 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair, while XeOF$_4$ has 4 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair on the central xenon atom, forming a square pyramidal shape.
