Which of the following has a seesaw molecular geometry?

Step 1: Understand what molecular geometry means. It describes the 3D shape of a molecule based on how atoms are arranged.
Step 2: Identify the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs in the molecule SF4.
Step 3: In SF4, there are 4 bonding pairs (the bonds between sulfur and fluorine) and 1 lone pair (a pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding).
Step 4: Use the VSEPR theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) to determine the shape. The presence of 4 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair leads to a seesaw shape.
Step 5: Conclude that SF4 has a seesaw molecular geometry due to its arrangement of bonding and lone pairs.
