Question 5 of 72 More than six bonds around a central atom can become too crowde

Question

Question 5 of 72 More than six bonds around a central atom can become too crowded and prevent stable molecules from forming. However, there are some molecules with coordination numbers higher than six, such as IF7 shown here. Use the principles of VSEPR and orbital hybridization to describe the geometry of the AX7 family of molecules and the bonding within IF. What bond angle(s) does a molecule in the AX/ family most likely include? Lewis Structure for IF O both 90° and 120" angles O both 72' and 90 angles O only 45 angles O only 51 angles What hybridization best fits the IF7 molecule?

Explanation / Answer

Bond angle is 72° and 90°

Hybridization is sp3 d3

Shape is pentagonal bipyramidal
