Draw the geometry of $O S F_{4}$ using VSEPR theory.

Open in App

Solution

The geometry of $O S F_{4}$ is trigonal bipyramid.
Here central atom $S$ is $s p^{3} d$ hybridized.
See the figure.
Here $2$ $F$ atoms will occupy the axial positions and the remaining two $F$ atoms along with the oxygen atom will occupy the equatorial positions.
