Detailed Solution

According to VSEPR, the valence electron pairs that surround an atom have a tendency to repel one another. As a result, they will arrange themselves in a way that minimizes this repulsion, which determines the geometry of the molecule. After lone pair-bond pair repulsion, all four planar bonds (F, Br, and F) will decrease from 90°to 84.8

ln BrF5, none of the bond angles are 90°
