[7 / 3 / ?]
Studying for my community college gen chem class next week. Plz no bully.
In this question, C is listed as the correct answer, but why is it not D?
SF4 is a polar, trigonal bipyramidal/seesaw molecule due to having 1 lone pair, and 4 bonded electrons on the central atom, so A, B, and E can be excluded as possible answers. I assumed D was correct when I drew out the magnitude of the dipole moment, but why is C actually the correct answer? Can someone explain please?
