Question

Draw the most important Lewis structure for [SF5]- (assuming it exists) and then answer the following questions. The underlined atom is the central atom. All other atoms are bonded directly to the central atom. (a) What is the electron-group geometry, according to VSEPR theory? Click for List (b) What is the molecular geometry? Click for List (c) Is this species polar or nonpolar? Click for List Hints: 1. The electron-group geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of the electron pairs around the central atom. 2. The molecular geometry refers to the spatial arrangement of the bonded atoms around the central atom.

Step 1

Sulfur (S) is the central atom which is surrounded by six fluorine (F) atoms. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, and each fluorine has 7 valence electrons. So, the Lewis structure will be S in the center with single bonds to each of the six F atoms. Each F atom will Show more…
