To solve the problem of drawing the molecular structures of OSF₄ (thionyl fluoride) and XeF₄ (xenon tetrafluoride) using VSEPR theory, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the central atom and its valence electrons **For OSF₄:** - The central atom is sulfur (S). - Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. - Each fluorine (F) contributes 1 valence electron, and there are 4 fluorine atoms, contributing a total of 4 electrons. ...
