Homework Statement
Give the formula of a fluoride molecule that:
is octahedral in shape
is trigonal bypyramidal in shape
is T-shaped
...etc
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok, I'm not really actually looking for an answer, because I already know the answers are SF6, PF5, and ClF3. And I have no trouble understanding VSEPR structures. What I'm wondering is if there is an systematical/mathematical way to approach this problem rather than trial and error like I did?
Thank you very much
