SF₄ is isostructural with: A. BrF₄^ B. CH₄ C. IF₄^ D. XeF₄ E. XeO₂ F₂ Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

In SF₄ , the central sulphur atom has 6 valence electrons. It forms 4 sigma bonds with fluorine atoms and has 1 lone pair. The steric number is 5 , corresponding to sp^3d hybridization, and the shape is see-saw. In BrF₄^ , the central bromine atom has 8 valence electrons ( 7 + 1 ). It forms 4 sigma bonds and has 2 lone pairs. The steric number is 6 , corresponding to sp^3d^2 hybridization, and the shape is square planar. In CH₄ , the central carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. It forms 4 sigma bonds and has 0 lone
