Which of the following is incorrect statement about OSF 4 ?
Options
- AS atom has sp 3 d hybridization
- BOSF 4 has distorted trigonal bipyramidal shape.
- CO atom is present at equatorial position.
- DThere is no lone pair on S.
Correct answer
B. OSF 4 has distorted trigonal bipyramidal shape.
Step-by-step solution
In OSF 4 , BP = 5, LP = 0 and hence the hybridization is sp 3 d and shape is trigonal-bipyramidal. Distortion in geometry due to presence of S=O (Bond) equatorially. S-atom does not contain any lone pair electrons.Distortion in geometry due to presence of S=O (Bond) equatorially. S-atom does not contain any lone pair electrons.
