The molecular shape of A4B, where A represents a central atom surrounded by four identical atoms (A) and one different atom (B), typically adopts a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In this arrangement, the four A atoms can form a planar tetrahedral arrangement around the equatorial plane, while the B atom occupies an axial position. This results in a 5-coordinate geometry, with bond angles of 120° in the equatorial plane and 90° between the axial and equatorial positions. However, the exact shape may vary depending on the specific steric and electronic effects of the atoms involved.
