What is the geometry around the central atom in the following molecular model of PCl₆^-? A)trigonal bipyramidal B)octahedral C)square pyramidal D)square planar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular model consists of one phosphorus atom (central atom) bonded to four chlorine atoms, one sulfur atom, and one phosphorus-sulfur bond. The arrangement of these atoms around the central phosphorus atom is octahedral, with six electron domains around the phosphorus atom (four bonding pairs and two lone pairs). Therefore, the geometry around the central atom is octahedral.
