Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 33E
a. Explain why BrF4 is square planar, whereas BF4-, is tetrahedral.
b. How would you expect the H-X-H bond angle to vary in the series H20, H2S, H2Se?
Explain (Hint: The size of an electron pair domain depends in part on the electronegativity of
the central atom.)
