Which among the following species has unequal bond lengths?
Options
- ASiF 4
- BSF 4
- CXeF 4
- DBF 4
Correct answer
B. SF 4
Step-by-step solution
Species Hybridisation Bond length BF 4 ⊝ sp 3 (Tetrahedral) All bond lengths equal XeF 4 sp 3 d 2 (sq. planar) All bond lengths equal SF 4 sp 3 d (see - saw) axial bond length > equitorial bond length SiF 4 sp 3 (Tetrahedral) all bond lengths equal
