Predict hybridisation and shape of `SF_(4)` molecule.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the hybridization and shape of the SF4 molecule, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons Sulfur (S) is in group 16 of the periodic table and has 6 valence electrons. Each fluorine (F) atom is in group 17 and has 7 valence electrons. Since there are 4 fluorine atoms, the total number of valence electrons contributed by fluorine is: \[ 4 \times 7 = 28 \text{ valence electrons from F} \] Thus, the total number of valence electrons in SF4 is: ...
