Question
If there are five electron pairs in outer shell, then structure and bond angle as predicted by Sidgwick-Powell theory is
- Octahedron,
- Trigonalbipyramidal,
and
- Pentagonal bipyramidal,
and
- Tetrahedron,
'/>
and
and
'/>
The correct answer is: Trigonalbipyramidal, and
Three bond pairs are inclined at with one each other, and the other two bond pairs are at with first three, thus structure is: Trigonal bipyramidal (as in 
)
