According to principles of VSEPR theory applied on AsCl₅^2-,which of the following is INCORRECT? A)VSEPR formula = AX₅E B)molecular geometry = square planar C)electron-group geometry = octahedral D)hybridization = sp³^d² E)one lone pair and 5 bonding pairs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR formula AX5E indicates one lone pair and five bonding pairs around the central atom, leading to an electron-group geometry of octahedral. However, the molecular geometry for AX5E is square pyramidal, not square planar.
