Question
has a shape of trigonal bipyramid whereas 
has the shape of a square pyramid. It is due to
- Presence of unshared electron pair on I which is oriented so as to minimize repulsion while P in has no unshared pair
- Octet of P is complete while that of I is incomplete
- P and I are of different group
- F and
have different extent of repulsion
has no unshared pair
have different extent of repulsion
The correct answer is: Presence of unshared electron pair on I which is oriented so as to minimize repulsion while P in has no unshared pair
