The geometric shape of SbCl5 (antimony pentachloride) is trigonal bipyramidal. In this molecule, the antimony atom is at the center, with five chlorine atoms arranged around it: three chlorine atoms occupy the equatorial positions, while two occupy the axial positions. This arrangement results in bond angles of 120 degrees in the equatorial plane and 90 degrees between the axial and equatorial positions.
