Pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry explained

Symmetry Group:	C5v
Atom Direction:	6
Bond Angle:	90°, 72°
Mu:	>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.^[1]
