Vedclass · Answer

(C) The central atom $Cl$ in $ClF_5$ has $7$ valence electrons. It forms $5$ bonds with $F$ atoms and has $1$ lone pair of electrons.Total electron pairs = $5 + 1 = 6$,which corresponds to $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.The geometry is octahedral,but due to the presence of one lone pair,the shape is square pyramidal.$ClF_5$ exists as a colourless liquid at room temperature.
