How many outer atoms and lone pairs are present in a molecule with a square pyramidal shape?

5 Outer and 1 lone pair

Step-by-step explanation:

A square pyramidal shape results when one of the bonds of an octahedron structure is occupied by a lone pair.

Hence there are 5 bonded atoms and one lone pair. The hybridization about the central atom is .

One of the most common example is Xenon tetraflouride. . Looking at its structure we can see that it has 5 pairs of outer atoms and one lone pair. With its coordination number 5. The shape of the orbitals is octahedral.

45

step-by-step explanation:

to find a percentage, add a decimal in front and multiply it by the other number.

.25 times 180= 45
