In
chemistry, pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry describes the shape of compounds where in six atoms or groups of atoms or
ligand
In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule ( functional group) that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding with the metal generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's ele ...
s are arranged around a central atom, at the vertices of a
pentagonal pyramid. It is one of the few
molecular geometries with uneven
bond angle
Bond or bonds may refer to:
Common meanings
* Bond (finance), a type of debt security
