Pentagonal Pyramidal Molecular Geometry

Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry
Examples	XeOF−5
Point group	C5v
Coordination number	6
Bond angle(s)	90°, 72°
μ (Polarity)	>0

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.
