Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the geometry, hybridization, and position of lone pairs of electrons for `XeF4` and `SOF4`, we will analyze each molecule step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze `XeF4` 1. **Determine the Central Atom**: The central atom in `XeF4` is Xenon (Xe). 2. **Count Valence Electrons**: - Xenon (Xe) has 8 valence electrons (Group 18). - Each Fluorine (F) contributes 1 electron, and there are 4 Fluorine atoms: 4 × 1 = 4 electrons. ...
