Assertion : All F - S - F angle in SF(4)...

Assertion : All F - S - F angle in `SF_(4)` are greater than `90^(@)` but less than `180^(@)`.
Reason :The lone pair -bond pair repulsion is weaker than bond pair -bond pair repulsion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct `(R )` Due to greater lp -lp repulsions than bp-bp repulsions the `F -S -F` bond angle decreases from `180^(@)` .
