SF4(Sulphur tetrafluoride) has 10 electrons around the central atom.This means that there are 5 electron pair arranged in trigonal bipyramidal shape with angle of 102 degree in the equitorial bonds and of 173 in axial bonds.Hence,the shape of it is 'TRIGONAL BIPYRAMIDAL'. Hopes it will helps you my friend.

geometry of SF4 is a "seesaw," a truncated trigonal bipyramid.
Sulfur tetrafluoride has 10 electrons around the central sulfur atom. This means there are five electron pairs arranged in an trigonal bipyramidal shape with 102° F-S-F bond angles between the equatorial fluorine atoms and 173° between the axial fluorine atoms.
