What is the molecular geometry for BrF4?

Answer 1

When you do the VSEPR you get 6pairs of electron pairs and two lone pairs which means that when you look at the geometrical shape (by looking at how many pairs of electrons you got and in this cases its 6) the shape is octahedral but the molecular shape is square planar because you only have four atoms bonding and two lone pairs which means that the lone pairs have to be as far from each other as possible so they go on the two ends ( one on top and one on the bottom) which leavs the shape to be a square planar! i hope this helps you good luck.

TL;DR: Square Planar.
