The Jahn-Teller ("YAWN" TELL-er) effect is most commonly observed in transition metal complexes with this configuration.
The Jahn-Teller ("YAWN" TELL-er) effect is most commonly observed in transition metal complexes with this configuration. Though their molecular geometries are, respectively, square planar and square pyramidal, xenon tetrafluoride (TET-ruh-FLOOR-ide) and bromine pentafluoride (PEN-tuh-FLOOR-ide) both have this electron geometry. For 10 points, give this electron geometry of sulfur hexafluoride (HEX-uh-FLOOR-ide) and all other compounds with a central atom surrounded by (*) six atoms or lone pairs.
