Solution

The correct option is B ${S F}_{4}$
In ${S O}_{4}^{2 -} \Rightarrow b p = 4, l p = 0 ∴ h y b r i d i s a t i o n {s p}^{3}$
In ${S F}_{4} \Rightarrow b p = 4, l p = 1 ∴ h y b r i d i s a t i o n {s p}^{3} d$
In ${S F}_{2} \Rightarrow b p = 2, l p = 2 ∴ h y b r i d i s a t i o n {s p}^{3}$
In $S_{8} \Rightarrow b p = 2, l p = 2 ∴ h y b r i d i s a t i o n {s p}^{3}$
Thus, only ${S F}_{4}$ does not have ${s p}^{3}$ hybridisation.
