$SF_4$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) molecule is polar if it has a net dipole moment $(\mu 
eq 0)$.$SiF_4$ has a tetrahedral geometry with $\mu = 0$.$XeF_4$ has a square planar geometry with $\mu = 0$.$BF_3$ has a trigonal planar geometry with $\mu = 0$.$SF_4$ has a see-saw geometry due to the presence of one lone pair on the central $S$ atom,which results in an unsymmetrical distribution of charge,making it a polar molecule with $\mu 
eq 0$.
