Brcl5

BrCl5 is polar, need help? 3

BrCl5 has an octahedral geometry with a square pyramid shape. BrCl5 has 6 efficient pairs around the central Br atom, of which 5 are BrCl bonds, while 1 is an isolated pair. Since 6 is unequal and the bonding dopoles do not all cancel each other out, BrCl5 must be polar.

The difference between the electrical negativity of Cl and Br is 3.02.8 = 0.2, so they are non-polar molecules.

BrCl5 is non-polar.
