Molecular shapes of `SF_(4), CF_(4), 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

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Hybridisation
(i) `overset(..)SF_(4)rArr (1)/(2) (6 +4) =5 =sp^(3)` d with one lp of `e^(-')s` it is see-saw in shape
(ii) `CF_(4) rArr (1)/(2) (4 +4) = 4sp^(3)TH` with zero lp of `e^(-')s`
(iii) `:overset(..)XeF_(4) rArr (1)/(2) (8 +4) n = sp^(3) d^(2)` with two lp of `e^(-')s`
Its shape is square planar .
