Given information

The electron geometry, molecular geometry and the idealized bond angle for the given molecules and also, the molecules that deviate from their idealized bond angle is to be identified.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The atomic number of phosphorus is .

Therefore, the electronic configuration of phosphorus is .

Thus, the number of valence electrons of phosphorus is  .

The atomic number of fluorine is .

Therefore, the electronic configuration of fluorine is .

Thus, the number of valence electrons of fluorine is .

Therefore, the number of valence electrons in .
