Question

Explain the structure of SF4 using VSEPR theory and hybridisation?

Answer 1

Answer:

I can't understand your question

Answer 2

Answer:

During the formation of SF4, the sulfur atom will form bonds with each of fluorine atoms where 8 of valence electrons are used. ... The middle S atom containing the 5 valence atomic orbitals is basically hybridized to form five sp3d hybrid orbitals.

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.
