Problem: a. What is the electron-domain (charge-cloud) geometry of IF5? Enter the electron-domain geometry of the molecule.b. What is the molecular geometry of IF5? Enter the molecular geometry of the molecule.

🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Lamichhane's class at WVU.

(1): I is less electronegative than F → I is central atom

(2): The total number of valence electrons present in IF₅ is:

Group Valence Electrons

I 7A 1 × 7 e^– = 7 e

F 7A 5 × 7 e^– = 35 e^–

Total: 42 valence e^–

a. What is the electron-domain (charge-cloud) geometry of IF₅? Enter the electron-domain geometry of the molecule.

b. What is the molecular geometry of IF₅? Enter the molecular geometry of the molecule.
