What is the bond angle of PBr5?

Answer 1

covalent (as in most carbon compounds)

Answer 2

The bond angle of PBr5 is 120 degrees. This is because phosphorus pentabromide (PBr5) has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry, where the bromine atoms are arranged around the central phosphorus atom with angles of 120 degrees between them.

Answer 3

Phosphorus tribromide has a trigonal pyramidal shape, thus it will have a bond angle of 107 degrees.

In the Lewis structure, the phosphorus has two electrons that are not shared in a bond. These force the other atoms away from that side of the phosphorus atom. This action creates a trigonal pyramidal shape that has a 107 degree bond angle.

Answer 4

The bond angles around the Carbon atoms are terahedral

Answer 5

It is 109.5 degrees.

Answer 6

109.5

Answer 7

120
