What is the molecular geometry of SF4SF_4 (5 electron domains, 1 lone pair)?

  • A

    Trigonal bipyramidal

  • B

    Seesaw

    check_circle
  • C

    Tetrahedral

  • D

    Square planar

Explanation

5 domains = trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry. Lone pair occupies equatorial position (lower repulsion). Resulting molecular geometry is seesaw shape.
