33. (a) In PC 5 , P has 5 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs. Therefore, according to VSEPR

theory to have a state is minimum repulsion between there bond pairs, molecule

acquires trigonal bipyramidal shape.

In IF5, I has 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. Therefore, it acquires distorted form of

octahedral geometry i.e. square pyramidal. 1
