The molecular geometry of the IF₅ molecule is ________,and this molecule is ________. A)trigonal bipyramidal, polar B)trigonal bipyramidal, nonpolar C)trigonal planar, polar D)square pyramidal, polar E)square pyramidal, nonpolar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular geometry of IF5 is square pyramidal due to the presence of five bonding pairs and one lone pair on the central iodine atom. This geometry leads to an asymmetric distribution of electron density, making the molecule polar.
