Question

Molecular shape of ` SF_4, CF_4` and ` XeF_4` are :
A. the same with ` 2, 0` and `1` lone pair of electron respectively
B. the same with ` 1, 1` and `1` lone pair of electron respectively
C. differebnt with ` 0, 1` and `2` lone pairs of electron respectively
D. different with ` 1, 0` and `2` lone pairs of electron respectively

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`SF_4` has ` sp^2` d-hybridisation with one lone paire , `CF_4` has `sp^3` -hybridisation with no lone pair and ` XeF_4` has `sp^4d^2` -hybridisation with two lone pairs .
