![]() As there is one lone pair on the central atom, it repels the bonding pair of electrons, which tweaks the shape a little bit and makes it appear like a see-saw. Here two fluorine atoms forming bonds with the sulfur atom are on the equatorial positions, and the rest two are on the axial positions. ![]() Molecules having a molecular formula of AX4E have trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry. Here there is one sulfur atom and four fluorine atoms in the compound, which makes it similar to the molecular formula of AX4E. A molecular formula helps to know the exact number and type of atoms present in the given compound. It is easy to understand the molecular geometry of a given molecule by using the molecular formula or VSEPR model.
