Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the structure of sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Valence Electrons - Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons. - Each fluorine (F) atom has 7 valence electrons, but since it forms a bond by donating 1 electron, we consider only 1 electron from each fluorine for bonding. - With 4 fluorine atoms, the total contribution from fluorine is 4 electrons. **Total valence electrons = Valence electrons of S + Valence electrons from F** ...
