Question

In which of the following molecules, the central atom does not have $s{p}^3$ hybridization?

• A. $C{H}_4$
• B. $S{F}_4$
• C. $B{F_4}^{-}$
• D. $N{H_4}^{+}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $S{F}_4$

$S{F}_4$ molecule does not have $s{p}^3$ hybridization. It has $s{p}^{3}d$ hybridization. While all others have $s{p}^3$ hybridization. Hence option B is the correct answer.
