SF4 is iso-structural with:

  • A) BrF4-
  • B) CH4
  • C) IF4+
  • D) XeF4
  • E) XeO2F2

Verified Answer

SF4 has:

  • 5 electron pairs around sulfur
  • 4 bond pairs and 1 lone pair
  • Trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry
  • Seesaw molecular shape

Now compare:

  • BrF4- → Square planar
  • CH4 → Tetrahedral
  • IF4+ → Seesaw
  • XeF4 → Square planar
  • XeO2F2 → Seesaw

Therefore IF4+ and XeO2F2 have the same geometry as SF4.
