The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the structure of \( H_2CSF_4 \) are correct, we first need to analyze the molecular structure and bonding of the compound. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Central Atom and Its Hybridization - The central atom in \( H_2CSF_4 \) is sulfur (S). - Sulfur has an electronic configuration of \( [Ne] 3s^2 3p^4 \). - To form bonds with four fluorine atoms and two hydrogen atoms, sulfur undergoes hybridization. **Hint:** Consider the number of bonds sulfur needs to form and how this relates to its electron configuration. ### Step 2: Determine the Hybridization - Sulfur can promote one of its 3s electrons to the 3d orbital to accommodate the bonding requirements. - This results in \( sp^3d^2 \) hybridization, allowing sulfur to form a total of six bonds (four with fluorine and two with hydrogen). **Hint:** Think about how many orbitals are involved in bonding and how they can be hybridized. ### Step 3: Analyze the Molecular Geometry - The molecular geometry of \( H_2CSF_4 \) is octahedral due to the \( sp^3d^2 \) hybridization. - The two hydrogen atoms will occupy positions in the equatorial plane, while the four fluorine atoms will occupy the axial positions. **Hint:** Visualize the arrangement of atoms in three-dimensional space to understand the geometry. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Statements 1. **Statement A:** "Two CH bonds are in the same plane as the axial SF bonds." - This statement is incorrect. The CH bonds are in the equatorial plane, while the SF bonds are axial. 2. **Statement B:** "Total six atoms are in the same plane." - This statement is correct. All six atoms (two H and four F) can be arranged in a way that they lie in the same plane. 3. **Statement C:** "Equatorial SF bonds are perpendicular to the nodal plane of the pi bond." - This statement is correct. The SF bonds are indeed perpendicular to the nodal plane of the pi bond formed. 4. **Statement D:** "The CH bonds are perpendicular to the equatorial SF bonds." - This statement is correct. The CH bonds are positioned perpendicular to the equatorial SF bonds. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Statements B, C, and D are correct. - Statement A is incorrect. ### Final Answer The correct statements regarding the structure of \( H_2CSF_4 \) are B, C, and D.
