In TeF4, the lone pair of electrons repels the Te-F bonding pairs, causing the F-Te-F angles to be smaller than v in the ideal trigonal bipyramid. In BrF5, the lone pair is located perpendicular v to the plane of four of the F atoms, giving a square pyramid v geometry to the molecule. The angle between the four E in the plane and the F above the plane will be less than v 90° due to lone pair repulsion. The F-Br-F angles in the plane will remain DEC étv MacBook Air DD F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F2 F3 @ # 2$ 3 4 6. 8.
