Dear Student, The shape of a molecule is attained by keeping in track of lp-lp , lp-bp and bp-bp repulsions (VSEPR theory) I has 8electons in IF6- molecule If shape is pentagonal pyramidal angle is 72* which is low than the angle in distorted octahedral. Therefore to minimise the repulsions such shape is attained.
