Vedclass · Answer

(C) $TeCl_4$ has a see-saw shape due to $sp^3d$ hybridization with one lone pair. $SeF_4$ also has a see-saw shape due to $sp^3d$ hybridization with one lone pair. $CH_4$ and $PCl_4^{+}$ both have a tetrahedral shape due to $sp^3$ hybridization with zero lone pairs. $SF_4$ has a see-saw shape ($sp^3d$,one lone pair),whereas $NH_4^{+}$ has a tetrahedral shape ($sp^3$,zero lone pairs). Thus,they have different shapes. $SiH_4$ and $CCl_4$ both have a tetrahedral shape due to $sp^3$ hybridization with zero lone pairs.
