Based on VSEPR theory , the number of 90 degree F-B angles in BrF_(5) is |
Answer»  DUE to repulsion by the lone pair on the bond PAIRS all the four planar bond anlges DECREASE from ` 90^(@)` to ` 84.8^(@)` . The axial bond ALSO no LONGER remains `90^(@)` with the planar bonda . In other words , there are no `90^(@)FBrF` bonds in `BrF_(5)` |
