Solution

The correct option is B b

Option a)- Structure of IF5 is square pyramidal

Option b)- In BrF3, Bromine atom is sp3d hybridized. The two lone pairs will occupy the equatorial positions to minimise lone pair-lone pair and the bond pair- lone pair repulsions which are greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsions. In addition, the axial fluorine atoms will be bent towards the equatorial fluorine in order to minimise the lone-pair-lone pair repulsions. The shape would be that of a slightly bent 'T'.

Option c)- Structure of XeOF4 is Square pyramidal.

Option d)- Structure of XeF4 is Square planar.
