Q: What is the molecular geometry of SF4?
Solution:
SF4 has four bonding pairs and one lone pair, resulting in a seesaw molecular geometry.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in SF4, which is sulfur (S).
Step 2: Count the number of fluorine (F) atoms bonded to sulfur. There are 4 fluorine atoms.
Step 3: Determine the number of lone pairs on the sulfur atom. Sulfur has 1 lone pair.
Step 4: Add the number of bonding pairs (4 from F) and lone pairs (1 from S). This gives a total of 5 pairs.
Step 5: Use the VSEPR theory to determine the molecular geometry based on 5 pairs. The shape is determined by the arrangement of these pairs.
Step 6: With 4 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair, the molecular geometry is classified as 'seesaw'.
