Question

Which of the following molecules posesses trigonal bipvramidal geometry.

• A. $SF_4$
• B. $S_2F_2$
• C. $SF_6$
• D. $SF_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$SF_4$

Answer 2

All tetrahalides possess trigonal bipyramidal structure with $sp^{3}d$ hybridization. Hexafluorides have $sp^{3}d^{2}$ hybridisation. So, they have octahedral geometry
