### Lewis Structure for TeF\(_5^-\)A Lewis structure for TeF\(_5^-\) is shown below on the left. Predict whether bonding angles A and B will be equal to, greater than, or less than the ideal bonding angles according to the VSEPR model.**Lewis Structure Diagram:**- Tellurium (Te) is in the center, surrounded by five fluorine (F) atoms.- The structure shows single bonds between Te and each F atom.- The diagram indicates two bond angles, labeled A (in red) and B (in blue).**Options for Bond Angles:**- A) A: equal, B: equal- B) A: greater than, B: less than- C) A: less than, B: greater than- D) A: greater than, B: greater than- E) A: less than, B: less than**Explanation:**Based on the VSEPR model, assess how the lone pairs on Te and the geometry of the molecule affect the angles A and B. Consider that lone pairs repel more strongly than bonded pairs, potentially affecting the bond angles.

QUESTION 1 What happens to the stability of a molecule when an electron is removed from the system? If the electron is in a bonding orbital, the stability decreases; if the electron is in an antibonding orbital, the stability increases. If the electron is in a bonding orbital, the stability increases; if the electron is in an antibonding orbital, the stability decreases. The stability increases regardless of if the electron was in a bonding or antibonding orbital. The stability decreases regardless of if the electron was in a bonding or antibonding orbital.
