Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 2 April (Evening Shift)

Which among the following molecules is (a) involved in sp3d hybridization, (b) has different bond lengths and (c) has lone pair of electrons on the central atom?

  1. XeF4
  2. XeF2
  3. PF5
  4. SF4

Answer

(4) SF4

Solution

XeF4: 4 bp + 2 lp sp3d2, square planar. Fails (a).

XeF2: 2 bp + 3 lp sp3d, linear; both Xe–F bonds are axial and equal. Fails (b).

PF5: 5 bp + 0 lp sp3d, trigonal bipyramidal; axial and equatorial bonds differ, but there is no lone pair on P. Fails (c).

SF4: 4 bp + 1 lp sp3d, see-saw shape; the lone pair is equatorial, so the axial S–F bonds are longer than the equatorial S–F bonds. Satisfies (a), (b) and (c).

Answer: (4)
