Question

Explain the shapes of SF4 using VSEPR theory​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sulfur tetrafluoride has 5 regions of electron density around the central sulfur atom (4 bonds and one lone pair). These are arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal shape with 102° F-S-F bond angles between the equatorial fluorine atoms and 173° between the axial fluorine atoms.
