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.

SF4
Atomic number of S = 16
Electric configuration = 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^4
Ground state = 3S^2 3P^4
Excited state = 3S^2 3P^3 3d^1
