Trigonal bipyramidal electronic geometry

The Lewis formula predicts 5 electron groups around the central Br atom and a trigonal bipyramidal electronic geometry. There are two lone pairs on the Br atom, so the molecular geometry is T-shaped (Section 8-11).

If the Lewis formula for a molecule or ion shows only one lone pair In Unear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, or octahedral electronic geometry, all positions are equivalent, so it doesn t matter where we place the lone pair. In trigonal bipyramidal electronic geometry, place the lone pair in the equatorial position where it is least crowded, and put the bonded atoms in the other positions. 

The trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry for five electron domains. The three equatorial (eq) positions lie in a trigonal plane along the equator of the molecule, whereas the two axial (ax) domains lie along the vertical axis of the molecule. [E. Generalic,... 

Lastly, the BrF3 molecule has five electron domains, predicting a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry. The two lone-pair domains will occupy more space around the central Br atom than will the shared Br-F single-bond domains. The lone pairs will therefore prefer two of the equatorial sites in the trigonal...

When there are five electron groups around the central atom, it is sp d hybridized. AB5 molecules and ions with no lone pairs on the central atom have trigonal bipyramidal electronic geometry, trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry, and sp d hybridization on the central atom. 

Select the correct hybridization for the central atom (or interior atoms) based on the electron geometry (see Table 10.3). A trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry corresponds to sp d hybridization. The leftmost carbon atom is sp hybridized, and the rightmost carbon atom is sp hybridized.
