JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 2nd September Evening Slot - No. 11)

The molecular geometry of SF6 is octahedral. What is the geometry of SF4 (including lone pair(s) of electrons, if any)?
Tetrahedral
Trigonal bipyramidal
Square planar
Pyramidal

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 2nd September Evening Slot Chemistry - Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure Question 159 English Explanation

Here 4$$\sigma $$ bonds +1 lone pair

Electronic geometry is Trigonal bipyramidal. Moleculer Geometry or Moleculer Shape is see-saw.

Note : The difference between Electronic Geometry and Moleculer Geometry(Moleculer Shape) is that in Electronic Geometry we include lone pair but in Moleculer Geometry(Moleculer Shape) we do not include lone pair.
