Question

Likely bond angles of SF4 molecule are : (A) 120°, 180° (B) 45°, 118° (C) 117°, 92° (D) 89°, 117°

SF 4 molecule: sp 3 d hybridization with one Ione pair providing repulsion. Therefore, bond angles change from 90 arrow 89° (apical ) and from 120 longrightarrow 117° <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-my5ffiqh1i74uiyo.jpg" />

Q. Likely bond angles of $S F_{4}$ molecule are :

$12 0^{\circ}, 18 0^{\circ}$

$4 5^{\circ}, 11 8^{\circ}$

$11 7^{\circ}, 9 2^{\circ}$

$8 9^{\circ}, 11 7^{\circ}$

$S F_{4}$ molecule: $s p^{3} d$ hybridization with one Ione pair providing repulsion.
Therefore, bond angles change from $90 \to 8 9^{\circ}$ (apical ) and from $120 ⟶ 11 7^{\circ}$
