[21 April 2019, Shift-II]

(a) 4 

(b) 5

(c) 3 

(d) 6

ANSWER: (c)

Detailed Solution: 

The number of molecules having square pyramidal geometry from the given molecules is

3,

They are  

(1) BrF5

(2) IF5

(3) CIF5

The geometries of the other given molecules are as follows :

Molecules Geometry (shape)

PCl5 = Trigonal bipyramidal

PF5 =Trigonal bipyramidal

ClF3 =  T-shaped

XeF4 = Square planar

XeF2=  Linear
