Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 11
What is the predicted geometry of PCl5 according to VSEPR Theory?
A
Trigonal bipyramidal
B
Tetrahedral
C
Octahedral
D
Linear
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
VSEPR Theory predicts the geometry of molecules based on the arrangement of electron pairs. For PCl5, which has five bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.
