Hybridisation is sp3d(no lone pairs). Structure is trigonal bipyramidal.

Answer 3

i know....

Answer 4

find angle???

Answer 5

120 degrees?

Answer 6

thought so but nope...

Answer 7

If not 120, then 90. but I still think 120 is more suitable. Since Cl atoms are large, they are on opposite sides of the planar triangle. So As and F should lie on the planar triangle.
What's the answer given?
