Which of the following molecular geometries is an example of an AB_(5) type molecule? A Square B Tetrahedron C Distorted tetrahedron D Bent type-5

The correct answer is C. Distorted tetrahedron.<br /><br />In an AB5 type molecule, there are five atoms bonded to a central atom. The molecular geometry of such a molecule is typically a distorted tetrahedron. This is because the five atoms around the central atom will try to position themselves as far apart as possible to minimize electron-electron repulsion, resulting in a distorted tetrahedral shape.
