Question

Which of the following options is/are true about the molecule $C{H}_2=S{F}_4$ ?

• A. 6 atoms of the molecule are in the vertical plane.
• B. 4 atoms of the molecule are in the horizontal plane.
• C. CS $\pi$ bond is formed by the overlap of $p_y$ of C atom and $d_{xy}$ of S atom.
• D. The nodal plane of the $\pi$ bond contains 4 atoms of the molecule.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

CS $\pi$ bond is formed by the overlap of $p_y$ of C atom and $d_{xy}$ of S atom.

$\pi$ bond is formed by the $p_y$ and the $d_{xy}$ orbitals ,so that the $\pi$ bond is in the XY plane and its nodal plane lies in the vertical plane which contains 6 atoms, that is, 2 H, 2F and C and S.
