1 question

Note from the author:

Molecules that are NOT symmetrical will be polar. Those that are symmetrical will be non-polar. You must draw the molecules out correctly for this to be determined. 

Instructions

Molecules that are NOT symmetrical will be polar. Those that are symmetrical will be non-polar. You must draw the molecules out correctly for this to be determined. 

Draw the molecules bromine pentafluoride (square pyramidal) and phosphorus pentafluoride (trigonal bipyramidal) in the Show Your Work section.

Based on the drawings for both molecules, bromine pentafluoride is a __________ molecule, while phosphorus pentafluoride is a __________ molecule.
