The shape of `SF_(5)` can be `:`

A

I only

B

I and II only

C

IV only

D

`I,II,& III`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Number of electrons pairs `=6,` number of bond pairs `=5,` number of lone pairs `=1`. According to VSEPR theory geometry of the molecule is square bipyramidal. As all positions are equavalent the lone pair of electrons can occupy any position in octahedral geometry as given below.
