Question

Out of $CHCl_3$ , $CH_4$ and $SF_4$ the molecules having regular geometry are

A

$CHCl_3$ only

B

$CHCl_3$ and $SF_4$

C

$CH_4$ only

D

$CH_4$ and $SF_4$

Answer

$CH_4$ only

Explanation

Solution

Regular geometry of $CH_4$ is attributed to zero dipole moment ( $\mu$ = 0) and absence of lone pair on carbon atom
