Why are axial positions more crowded than equatorial positions in a trigonal bipyramidal molecule?
Option: 1
Because axial positions have three neighboring atoms at 90° bond angles, while equatorial positions only have two neighboring atoms at 90° bond angles.
Option: 2
Because axial positions have a higher electron density than equatorial positions.
Option: 3
Because axial positions are closer to the central atom than equatorial positions.
Option: 4
Because axial positions have a higher energy than equatorial positions.
