Molecular shape of SF4, CF4 and XeF4 a...

Molecular shape of ` SF_4, CF_4` and ` XeF_4` are :

A

The same with 2, 0 and 1 lone pair of electrons respectively

B

The same with 1, 1 and 1 lone pair of electrons respectively

C

Different with 0, 1 and 2 lone pair of electrons respectively

D

Different with 1, 0 and 2 lone pair of electrons respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Lewis structures of `SF_4`, `CF_4` and `XeF_4` are as follows:

Thus, `SF_4` is see-saw shape with one lone pair. `CF_4` is tetrahedral, `XeF_4` is square planar with two lone pairs
