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
_2nd_September_Evening_Slot_en_11_1.png)
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.
