Hi everyone here. We have a question that asking us if the geometry of phosphorus, Penta, chloride and theano tetra fluoride is described as by pyramidal, determine their bond angles. So try agonal by pyramidal Molecules have bond angles of 90° 120° And 180°. So our answer here is 90 120 and 180. Thank you for watching. Bye.
