Provide the different spatial arrangements of $SF_4$ including its electron pairs.
(N/A) The central sulfur atom in $SF_4$ has $5$ electron pairs ($4$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair),resulting in a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry.
According to $VSEPR$ theory,the lone pair occupies the equatorial position to minimize repulsion.
The resulting molecular shape is known as a seesaw shape.
