The number of interhalogens from the following having square pyramidal structure is :

ClF3,IF7,BrF5,BrF3,I2Cl6,IF5,ClF,ClF5\mathrm{ClF}_{3}, \mathrm{IF}_{7}, \mathrm{BrF}_{5}, \mathrm{BrF}_{3}, \mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{6}, \mathrm{IF}_{5}, \mathrm{ClF}, \mathrm{ClF}_{5}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

CIF3→3σ\mathrm{CIF}_{3} \rightarrow 3 \sigma bond +2+2 lone pair

IF7→7σ\mathrm{IF}_{7} \rightarrow 7 \sigma bond +0+0 lone pair

BrF5→5σ\mathrm{BrF}_{5} \rightarrow 5 \sigma bond +1+1 lone pair →\rightarrow Square pyramidal

BrF3→3σ\mathrm{BrF}_{3} \rightarrow 3 \sigma bond +2+2 lone pair

I2Cl6→4σ\mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{6} \rightarrow 4 \sigma bond +2+2 lone pair

IF5→5σ\mathrm{IF}_{5} \rightarrow 5 \sigma bond +1+1 lone pair →\rightarrow Square pyramidal

CIF→1σ\mathrm{CIF} \rightarrow 1 \sigma bond +3+3 lone pair

CIF5→5σ\mathrm{CIF}_{5} \rightarrow 5 \sigma bond +1+1 lone pair →\rightarrow Square pyramidal
