Answer:
trigonal bypyramidal
Step-by-step explanation:
It's difficult to explain without a drawing or a model, but it would basically arrange itself into two triangle based pyramids connected to each other at the base, which is trigonal bypyramidal.
According to VSEPR theory, if there are five electron domains in the valence shell of an atom, they will be arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory provides a valid basis for predicting the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecule. Repulsion between electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom keeps the electron pairs as far apart from each other as possible. This minimizes inter electronic repulsion between electron pairs. Note that electron pairs could be lone pairs or bond pairs. Lone pairs causes more repulsion than bond pairs.
When there are five electron domains in a molecule, the shape of the molecular must be based on a trigonal bipyramid.
