Answer 1

Answer:

Please Mark As Brainliest

Explanation:

S atom in SF4 is bonded to four Fluorine atoms and has one lone pair (S has 6 valence electrons; four of them went in bonding with four Fluorine atoms while the other two remained as a lone pair on S atom). All of them are in hybridized orbitals. There are five such orbitals. So the hybridization is sp3d.
