The pentafluorotellurate(IV) anion, \[TeF5]–, contains tellurium in the +4 oxidation state surrounded by five fluoride ligands. To predict its structure, the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is applied. Tellurium has six valence electrons, and in this anion one extra electron is added due to the negative charge, making a total of seven. Out of these, five electrons are used to __________ _____ ______ _________ ______ ______ _________ ____ ______ ____ ______.
