00:01 Hi everyone we have to draw the lube structure and geometry for the full order.

00:05 First one s of 2.

00:06 Sulfur is having 6 valence electron and flurin is having 7 since f2 it is having 14 all total total valence electron will be 20 and it is draw the luffy structure s will be here one fluorine will be here and one flurin will be here now we can draw the 6 electrons for sulfur first 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

00:34 And let's draw for 7 for fluorine.

00:37 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

00:42 Similarly here, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

00:47 Now, sulfur is having 8 electron, and another fluorine is having 8 electron.

00:53 All are satisfied and it's having wind geometry.

00:59 Now for sf3 molecule, the total balance electron is 27 and the lyrus structure is follows.

01:06 Tulfur, one fluorine here, one fluorine here and one fluorine here.

01:10 We can draw 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8.

01:16 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 8.

01:25 Now for fluorine, 8 electrons are satisfied and for sulfur only 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 are satisfied.

01:33 So let us draw 2 here.

01:35 This is the lawn pair.

01:37 So it having the structure, trigonal, bi -perimidal.

01:47 Next, we have to draw for s -f -4, which having total valence electron 34...
