$SCl_4$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The hybridization of $S$ in $SCl_4$ is $sp^3d$,which results in a see-saw geometry due to the presence of one lone pair on the sulfur atom.$SO_4^{2-}$ has $sp^3$ hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry.$Ni(CO)_4$ has $sp^3$ hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry.$NiCl_4^{2-}$ has $sp^3$ hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry.Therefore,$SCl_4$ is the only species that is not tetrahedral.
