Draw a Lewis structure for SF4 that has minimized formal charges. Include all nonbonding electrons and any nonzero formal charges.

Respuesta :

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The compound SF4 is sulphur tetraflouride. It has a zero formal charge and has a total of 34 valence electrons.

The central atom in the molecule is sulphur in an sp3d hybridization state hence the molecule has a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry. Since it is a molecule of the sort AX4E; it gives a see-saw molecular shape.

The structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached to this answer.
