JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 1 — Question 78

The number of molecules/ion/s having trigonal bipyramidal shape is

$\qquad$ $\mathrm{PF}_{5}, \mathrm{BrF}_{5}, \mathrm{PCl}_{5},\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}, \mathrm{BF}_{3}, \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{5}$

Numerical answer — enter this value.

$\mathrm{PF}_{5}, \mathrm{PCl}_{5}, \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{5}$ ; Trigonal bipyramidal

$\mathrm{BrF}_{5} ;$ square pyramidal

$\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{-2}$ ; square planar

$\mathrm{BF}_{3} ;$ Trigonal planar
