Provide the structure of the molecules AsF3 and AsF5 showing their spatial orientation. Identify which has a dipole moment and which does not and explain your answer.
AsF3 has a trigonal pyramidal geometry and the bond dipoles add to give it a net dipole moment. On the other hand, AsF5 has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry and all the bond dipoles cancel out.
AsF3 has a trigonal planar geometry and the bond dipoles add to give it a net dipole moment. On the other hand, AsF5 has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry and all the bond dipoles cancel out.
AsF3 has a trigonal planar geometry and the bond dipoles add to give it a net dipole moment. On the other hand, AsF5 has a trigonal pyramidal geometry and all the bond dipoles cancel out.
AsF3 has a trigonal pyramidal geometry and the bond dipoles add to give it a net dipole moment. On the other hand, AsF5 also has a trigonal pyramidal geometry but no lone pairs so all the bond dipoles cancel out.
