Answer» SbPh5 is Square pyramidal Phosphoranes adopt atrigonal bipyramidal molecular geometrywith the twoapicalbonds longer than the three equatorial bonds. Hence, option (b) is correct.

Answer»

SbPh5 is Square pyramidal

Phosphoranes adopt atrigonal bipyramidal molecular geometrywith the twoapicalbonds longer than the three equatorial bonds.

Hence, option (b) is correct.
