Which of the following is not a correct statement?A. Every `AB_5` molecule has square pyramidal structure.B. Multiple bonds are always shorter than the corresponding single bonds.C. The electron-deficient molecules can act as Lewis acids.D. The cannonical structure has no real existence.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`AB_5` molecule having one lone pair on the central atom (e.g., `BrF_5`) has square pyramidal shape but `AB_5` molecule having zero lone pair on the central atom (e.g., `PCl_5`) has trigonal bipyramidal shape.
