There are 42+5+1 valence electrons = 48

6 initial bonds, leaving 36 more electrons to distribute. These go around the F atoms.

so P as the central atom, and 6 single bonded F atoms around it. Structure is octahedral.

Octahedral


What is the bond angle of TeF6?

The bond angle of TeF6 is 90 degrees. This is because TeF6 adopts an octahedral geometry with the six fluorine atoms surrounding the central tellurium atom. Each fluorine atom occupies one of the six vertices of an octahedron, resulting in bond angles of 90 degrees between adjacent fluorine atoms.
