Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect.
detailed solution
Correct option is A
The difference in the shapes of BrF5 and SF6 can be explained on the basis of VSEPR theory.SF6(SP3d2 hybridization) — 6 bond pairs — Octahedral geometry.BrF5 (SP3d2 hybridization) — 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair — square pyramidal.Talk to our academic expert!
