The Central Atom is Iodine(I) & it is surrounded by 6 fluoride ions !
It also has a lone pair !
It goes as this IF6- = 6 bond pairs + 1 lone pair !
Remember that for Pentagonal Bipyramidal you must have 7 Bond Pairs & no lone pair !!
So this assumes the shape of a distored octahedron & not a pentagonal bipyramidal shape !!
Hope you understood !!
All the Best & Good Luck !!

I mean pentagonal mono pyramidal not bipyramidal .plz try to understand my problem.which have 6 bond pair and 1 lone pair same as tetraheadral,and less repultion.please explain.
