Detailed Solution

Nodal plane is the molecular plane.BrF5 has a square bipyramidal structure and only one electron pair. a square pyramidal structure is created in this way. Axial lone pair and equatorial F's bond angle becomes deformed and is less than 90 degrees as a result of lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
As a result, none of the FBrF bond angles is 90°.
