What will be the shape of the molecule/ion when the central ion having five bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons?
What will be the shape of the molecule/ion when the central ion having five bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons? Correct Answer Square pyramidal
The correct answer is option 1, i.e., Square pyramidal.
- Square pyramidal will be the shape of the molecule/ion when the central ion having five bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons.
- The table given below will help you understand the shape and arrangement of electron pairs in different cases:
