Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry
Molecular geometry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where in six atoms or groups of atoms or ligands are arranged around a central atom, at the vertices of a pentagonal pyramid. It is one of the few molecular geometries with uneven bond angles.[1]
