Question

Molecular shapes of `SF_(4). And CF_(4) and XeF_(4)` are:
A. different with 1,0 and 2 lone pairs of elcterons on the central atoms, respectively
B. different with 0,1 and 2 lone pairs of electrons on the central atoms, respectively
C. the same with 1,1 and 1 lone pairs of electrons on the central atoms, respectively
D. the same with 2,0 and 1 lone pairs of electrons on the central atoms, respectively

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`SF_(4)(sp^(3)d), CF_(4)(Sp^(3)) and (XeF_(4)) (sp^(3)d^(2))` contain 1,0 and 2 lone pairs, respectively. Therefore, their shapes are also different.
