Question

Which of the following statements are correct about $S{F}_4$?

• A. It is prepared by reacting sulphur directly with fluorine.
• B. Sulphur tetrafluoride hydrolyzed by water to give $S{O}_2$ and HF.
• C. $S{F}_4$ has a square planar shape with S having two lone pair of electrons.
• D. S-atom has a expanded octet.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Sulphur tetrafluoride hydrolyzed by water to give $S{O}_2$ and HF.

$S{F}_4+2H_{2}O\to S{O}_2+4HF$
