Question

Type of orbital of S-atom involved in $\pi$-bond formation in $SO{F}_4$ molecule is ?

• A. $p_x$
• B. $d_{zx}$
• C. $d_{yz}$
• D. $d_{xy}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $p_x$

Electronic configuration of sulphur

$1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^4$

$\Rightarrow p_x$ orbital is going to involve in $\pi$-bond formation.
