Choose all molecules that are trigonal bipyramidal. Select all that apply. a) phosphorous pentachloride b) phosphorous pentaiodide c) iodine pentafluoride d) sulfur pentafluoride e) phosphorous pentoxide
Bond Parameters
Many factors decide the covalent bonding between atoms. Some of the bond parameters are bond angle, bond order, enthalpy, bond length, etc. These parameters decide what kind of bond will form in atoms. Hence it is crucial to understand these parameters in detail and understand how changing these parameters affects the kind of bonding or various characteristics.
Bond Dissociation Energy
The tendency of an atom to attract an electron is known as its electronegativity.
Choose all molecules that are trigonal bipyramidal. Select all that apply.
a) phosphorous pentachloride
b) phosphorous pentaiodide
c) iodine pentafluoride
d) sulfur pentafluoride
e) phosphorous pentoxide
A molecule in which the central atom is bonded with five atom and does not contain a lone pair on it, should be trigonal bipyramidal.
