Question

The molecular shapes of $S{F}_4$ , $C{F}_4$ and $Xe{F}_4$ are

• A. different with $1$ , $0$ and $2$ lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, respectively
• B. different with $0$ , $1$ and $2$ lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, respectively
• C. the same with $1$ , $1$ and $1$ lone pair of electrons on the central atoms, respectively
• D. the same with $2$ , $0$ and $1$ lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, respectively

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Molecule	Structure	Hybridisation of central atom	Lone pair
$S{F}_4$		$s{p}^{3}d$	One
$C{F}_4$		$s{p}^3$	zero
$Xe{F}_4$		$s{p}^3{d}^2$	two
